Role Overview:

We are seeking a technically strong, curious, and student-focused STEM Advisory Mentor to support high school students in developing research projects, computational work, engineering projects, and competition submissions.
The ideal candidate is a recent graduate or Master's student with strong subject knowledge and a demonstrated project, research, or technical portfolio. You will work with students from the early stages of an idea through to a well-structured research project, technical prototype, competition submission, or publication.
This role combines STEM mentorship, research guidance, computational problem solving, and academic development.

Key Responsibilities:

1. Student Mentorship & Project Development:
  • Develop, refine, and stress test physics, mathematics, computer science, data science, and engineering project ideas.
  • Help students turn broad interests into focused research questions, hypotheses, methodologies, and feasible project plans.
  • Support programming, debugging, data analysis, modelling, simulations, statistical analysis, and visualisation.
  • Support computational and engineering projects, including prototyping, CAD, digital design, and simulations where relevant.
  • Guide students through literature searches, literature reviews, research methodology, and interpretation of academic papers.
  • Review research methods, datasets, analyses, results, papers, proposals, posters, presentations, and technical reports.

2. Competitions & Publications:
  • Prepare students for research and innovation competitions such as IRIS, Conrad Challenge, Blue Ocean, and similar national or international STEM competitions.
  • Guide students on competition strategy, project framing, technical development, documentation, presentations, and judging criteria.
  • Support students interested in publishing their work, including manuscript structure, research standards, peer review, revisions, and publication ethics.
  • Help students identify appropriate publication platforms designed for high school researchers, such as the Journal of Student Research and the Journal of Emerging Investigators.

3. STEM Pathways & Application Support:
  • Identify relevant competitions, internships, research programmes, summer schools, external mentors, and other STEM opportunities.
  • Help students explore STEM majors, minors, concentrations, and interdisciplinary academic pathways.
  • Review STEM application materials, including activity descriptions, research summaries, project portfolios, and competition descriptions.
  • Evaluate students holistically, considering interests, curiosity, communication, initiative, personal character, and unique perspectives alongside academic preparation.

4. Resource Development & Internal Contribution:
  • Develop and facilitate STEM workshops, bootcamps, research guides, and technical learning resources.
  • Contribute to internal STEM resources, mentor training, and counsellor training.
  • Work with the counselling team to align STEM project work with students' overall application strategy.

  • Strong quantitative, analytical, and problem-solving skills.
  • Strong programming or computational skills, with familiarity with Python, R, MATLAB, or similar tools.
  • Experience with data analysis, statistical methods, modelling, simulations, and data visualisation.
  • Experience conducting research or developing independent technical projects.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain complex technical concepts simply.
  • Ability to balance technical depth with age-appropriate mentorship.
  • Experience mentoring or guiding students is valuable, but not essential.
  • Portfolio (required): A GitHub or equivalent technical portfolio showing practical evidence of your work, such as software projects, data science analyses, computational research, mathematical modelling, simulations, machine learning projects, data visualisations, engineering projects, CAD or digital design, independent research, publications, or competition submissions.
