Part-Time Science Communicator

As a Science Communicator, you’re right at the heart of what we do—without Communicators, there is no CSC! Your energy and enthusiasm for STEM will help spark curiosity and excitement in young people, connecting them with science in ways that are fun, meaningful and memorable.

We’re looking for someone who’s naturally curious, confident when engaging with people, and genuinely passionate about making science accessible and enjoyable for everyone.

In this role, you’ll work directly with the public, community groups and schools to create engaging STEM experiences. You’ll deliver interactive shows, workshops and events, and support open-ended exploration and conversation on the exhibit floor. We’ll provide training in public engagement—but it’s your personality and style that will bring it all to life. Authenticity is what truly connects with people.
