About the role
As a Study Assistant, you'll support a disabled Engineering Tripos student with their 4th year research project.
The main tasks include scribing and editing, including on LaTeX. Some work is required online, and some in-person with the student, flexible to the student’s needs.
We are looking for applicants who are available for around 3+ hours per week. The exact days and times of the week are dependent on the student’s schedule, but the student has some flexibility.
The Study Assistant would be registered as a temporary worker with the University of Cambridge Temporary Employment Service.
