AI in Research Workshop Facilitator

Why This Role Matters

As an AI in Research Workshop Facilitator, you’ll ensure educators and leaders receive world-class professional learning experiences that are engaging, actionable, and grounded in real research practice. Your energy, presence, and ability to guide meaningful learning will directly influence educator practice and ultimately student outcomes. For this opportunity in particular, you’ll bring to life how AI is being used in academic and laboratory research, helping high school research teachers understand the evolving landscape their students are stepping into. Your ability to translate complex ideas into clear, meaningful learning will directly shape how educators prepare students for authentic, college-level inquiry. Most facilitation will be conducted virtually (Zoom), with occasional opportunities for in-person delivery.

This is a contractor position with flexibility in scheduling and potential travel (up to 15%) to customer sites and events across the U.S.
