Catalyst Education is looking for remote part-time contractors with a background in undergraduate physics laboratory instruction and experience in web development and scripting (such as JavaScript, Python, HTML, LaTeX, and JSON).

  • UX & Input Design: Select and embed functional interactive elements (prompts, tables, dropdowns, open-response fields) to optimize student engagement and lab clarity.
  • Experimental Modeling: Incorporate real-world lab equipment parameters (measurement precision, tolerance, instrumentation range) into data entry validation rules.
  • Autograding & Logic Scripting: Write JavaScript evaluation logic to analyze student data, automate mathematical formulas, and deliver targeted response feedback.
  • Markup & Data Formatting: Draft and debug structured content using HTML, LaTeX for equations, and JSON for configurations.

Qualifications:

  • Direct experience working with students in undergraduate laboratory physics courses (ex: current or former Teaching Assistant, tutor, etc)
  • Demonstrated proficiency with web markup (HTML) and mathematical typesetting (LaTeX)
  • Proficiency with scripting languages (JavaScript, Python) and structured data formats (JSON)
  • Experience with Artificial Intelligence tools for drafting and reviewing work.
  • Ability to work at least 10 hours per week (20 preferred)
