Student assistants in communication and outreach for SDU Robotics
Job description:
SDU Robotics at the University of Southern Denmark in Odense is looking for 1–2 independent and welcoming student assistants to support our communication activities.
We aim to communicate our research and other activities broadly and need help producing weekly stories - including video content - for our LinkedIn profile, maintaining and quality-assuring our website and possibly photography to build a relevant photo archive for the section.
You should excel at creating content that resonates with our target groups (prospective and current students, current and future employees, funding bodies, potential collaborators and the surrounding community).
You must be able to manage the entire workflow from idea generation to content production, copywriting and publishing through the appropriate channels such as LinkedIn and the website.
You will work closely with an administrative staff member at SDU Robotics who helps identify stories and to whom you will refer. In addition, you will need to contact and interview staff members at SDU Robotics.
Please note that tasks may vary over time. Occasionally, ad hoc tasks within the communication domain may arise.
About you:
We expect that you are enrolled in a relevant higher education programme, either during your bachelor’s studies or at the beginning of your master’s degree. You must be enrolled as a student at SDU.
You have strong English skills, both written and spoken. Knowledge of Danish and German is an advantage.
You can work independently but are not afraid to ask for help when needed.
You are good at meeting deadlines and care about delivering results that satisfy all involved stakeholders.
You are proactive and comfortable reaching out directly to our staff (researchers, engineers, and teachers) to bring attention to their activities, stories and research.
Given the many stakeholders, you are welcoming and service minded.
You communicate well - especially in writing - and have some technical skills related to producing videos and taking quality photos.
Experience with online communication platforms such as LinkedIn and websites is an advantage.
We expect that you are curious and willing to learn about the research areas at SDU Robotics.
