Be a Science Communicator at the EISF
The EPSRC is sponsoring two events at the 2010 Edinburgh International Science Festival on the science and engineering involved in healthcare technology and the mechanics of blood. The second event consists of two themed interactive workshops covering the engineering aspects of blood and how this is used in healthcare technology (e.g. topics such as complex fluids and nanotechnology, non-invasive optics and medical imaging – but demonstrating these in an accessible way that children can understand).
The EISF are seeking science communicators for these workshops and will train successful applicants over two days prior to the start of the Festival. Details of the applications process can be found in the documents below. You will be auditioned by EISF and will need to attend the training days and be available for the full duration of the Festival (3 – 17 April). You will be paid a daily rate of £47 per day.
