As Educational Coordinator you will be a central part of the institute's administrative support for the educational area. Your work tasks will include:

• Administrative support to the institute's educational lead and the deputy institute director for education
• Recruitment and employment of instructors, mentors, MatLab helpers, and students for the institute's visitor service
