Student Instructors for Hacky Hours Study Cafe

About the company

The Faculty of Arts is one of Northern Europe’s most significant faculties for research and higher education in the humanities, theology and education. Within this broad academic scope, the faculty comprises approximately 700 researchers, 200 PhD students, 9,000 Bachelor’s and Master’s degree students, and 1,500 further and continuing education students. We believe that the best ideas arise when different perspectives meet – and that research, teaching and innovation are best developed in dialogue with the surrounding society.

Your tasks

We are looking for two dedicated and academically strong student instructors to support fellow history students working independently on digital projects in relevant courses like Kildenært emne or BA-projects. The support will take place through a hacky hour study café in the library/Nobelsalen, two hours a week (usually Friday 12-14 or 14-16; 26 hours in total). The Hacky Hour Study Café is meant to support the use of tools introduced in DAM in other courses and student projects.

As a student instructor, you will

• Help students contextualize and apply the tools (Voyant, Transkribus, R, OpenRefine, regex, spreadsheets and their Ucloud variants) introduced in DAM to new projects.
• Assist with troubleshooting their machines and support their understanding of core concepts.
• Guide students in working on their own project.
• Demonstrate best digital practices and foster the development of computational thinking.
• In short: “Teach students how to fish – and occasionally hand out a free fish.”

Requirements

We expect that you

• Have completed the DAM or similar course with good results.
• Are interested in teaching and motivated to help others understand complex topics.
• Are patient, approachable, and able to communicate technical material in an accessible way.

What we offer

• A stimulating and rewarding student job where you strengthen both your academic and teaching skills.
• An inspiring learning environment where you can make a real difference for your fellow students.
