Description: The University of Florida Center for Precollegiate Education and Training (CPET) is seeking summer residential counselors for the Student Science Training Program.
UF SSTP is a seven-week residential science immersion program for academically talented high school students. The program emphasis is research participation with a UF faculty research scientist and his or her research team. Students engage in the on-going research of the faculty-mentor for 28 hours each week, attend a lecture series on current research topics, and participate in a UF honors seminar class. Social activities, fieldtrips, and service projects engage students outside the classroom. Please visit our website: https://www.cpet.ufl.edu/students/uf-cpet-summer-programs/student-science-training-program/.
Residential counselors are an integral part of our summer program providing leadership, mentorship, and supervision for the up to 90 SSTP participants.
SSTP is housed in Lakeside residential complex. Two residential counselors live on each floor.
A counselor’s responsibilities are multifaceted and range from working in the CPET office, to planning, organizing, and implementing activities, to leading small group discussions and providing feedback on academic assignments, to facilitating a safe and inclusive residential environment. We are seeking applicants who are motivated, mature, responsible, caring, and energetic to fill these positions.
Contract Dates: SSTP Counselors will be hired for a 10-week period, beginning May 22nd. Prior to the start of the program, counselors work in the CPET office, assist in program preparation, and attend training. The dates for this year's seven-week SSTP are June 11th to July 29th. Applicants must be able to commit to living in the residence halls with the students, from program check-in to check-out (including overnight). During SSTP, counselors will be provided set time off during weeks two thru six and one weekend off during the program.
Compensation: SSTP Counselors are provided a bedroom (shared suite) on a program-occupied floor in Lakeside Residential Complex and are paid on contract starting at $500 per week.
Applications: Link to the on-line application available at UF SSTP Counselor Application. Two references, a resume, and copy of college/university transcriptions (unofficial transcripts acceptable) are requested. Selected applicants will be contacted for an interview.
