Lab trainee for a new lab environment in Nansensgade - student job at Copenhagen Business Academy

Are you curious about technology, creative production and practical learning? Do you like to experiment with new equipment and help other students translate ideas into practice? Do you want to help develop a completely new lab environment at EK?

So perhaps it’s you we’re looking for!

ABOUT THE JOB

At Erhvervsakademi København (EK) we are establishing a new lab environment in Nansensgade, where students and teachers will have the opportunity to work practically and experiment with new technologies and methods.

The lab environment will support the courses in the building and give students hands-on experience early in their education. Here we combine digital technologies with physical production and creative processes.

The new lab will, among other things, include podcast and audio facilities, eye tracking equipment, and the possibility to borrow photo, video and audio equipment. The podcast facilities should also be usable for example sales training, conflict management and negotiation exercises. There will also be a print workshop with 3D printers, a t-shirt printer and a poster printer.

As a lab trainee you will be an important part of the daily operation and development of the lab. You will help students and teachers use the facilities, run workshops and contribute to an open and inspiring learning environment.

The lab will be developed continuously in close interaction with the education programs and the students. Therefore you will also have the opportunity to contribute your own ideas and help shape how the lab should be used in the future.

Your main tasks

• Loan and preparation of equipment : Prepare, lend and receive photo, video and audio equipment and support the use of the lab facilities.
• Guidance and help for students and teachers : Introduce your fellow students to equipment and technologies and help them get started with their projects.
• Operation and development of the lab : Contribute to the lab and studies functioning in everyday life, and help develop new workshop formats, activities, events that support the study environment and applications.

Your other tasks will depend on your interests, competencies and experiences.

Technologies, workshops and facilities

You will work with different facilities and technologies, among others

• Photo, video and audio : Advise on the use of cameras, microphones, lighting and other equipment for content production.
• Podcast and audio studio : Assist with setup, recording and use of the studio for both media production and training activities.
• Eye tracking and user testing : Support the use of eye tracking equipment and other technologies for analysis and testing of digital and physical prototypes.
• Printing and physical production : Help students with printing tasks, poster production, t-shirt printing and other creative and physical productions.
• Digital tools and new technologies : Explore and communicate relevant digital tools, for example AI and creative software solutions.

You do not need to have experience in everything, but we are interested in hearing what you can bring to the table. The most important is that you are curious, eager to learn and enjoy working practically.

Workshops, outreach and development

You will have the opportunity to

• Help plan and hold introductions, workshops and activities for students.
• develop ideas for how the lab’s facilities can be used in teaching and study projects.
• Contribute to communicating the lab’s possibilities via the website, Service Portal (our loan system), social media and information screens.
