Overview
The Geophysical Institute’s Education Outreach Group is placed within the broader Communications Department for our research institute. This position has the principal role of the media producer for grant-funded education projects, many of which have media as a main product driving the grant. The media producer will be required to develop and produce original media on an intensive, deadline-driven schedule. With some variation, travel to several rural Alaska communities occurs at least monthly during the spring/summer months. As a secondary priority, this position will support the needs of the Geophysical Institute as a whole, creating media representing the work of our researchers for social media and other outlets. They may also be asked to take photos at events and provide other media and A/V services for educational and public events.
Candidates should be flexible and able to adapt when plans change on short notice, as well as goal or deadline-driven. This individual should have a wide range of skills with audio/visual equipment and software. They should be able to work with the applications in the Adobe Suite. This position, while often expected to work independently, must also be able to function as part of a team and sometimes perform tasks outside of the media realm, such as helping to set up chairs and other items for events, providing customer service, or helping to print posters during surges in activity for the communications department. The ability to maintain a dependable work routine is critical to the success of this position.
