What is a part time computer science research position?

A part time computer science research position involves working on research projects in the field of computer science while committing fewer hours per week than a full-time role. These positions are often held by students or professionals who want to gain research experience, contribute to academic or industry projects, or prepare for graduate studies. Typical tasks can include conducting experiments, reviewing literature, analyzing data, writing reports, and collaborating with a research team. Part time research roles offer flexibility and can often be tailored to accommodate academic schedules or other commitments.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a part time computer science researcher?

To thrive as a Part Time Computer Science Researcher, you need strong analytical skills, a solid foundation in computer science principles, and typically at least a bachelor's degree in computer science or a related field. Familiarity with programming languages, data analysis tools, and version control systems like Git is often required. Effective communication, problem-solving abilities, and self-motivation are crucial soft skills for collaborating with teams and managing independent projects. These competencies enable researchers to contribute valuable insights, stay organized, and drive innovation in a flexible, research-driven environment.

How do part time computer science research roles typically balance independent work and team collaboration?

In a part-time computer science research role, you'll often split your time between independent tasks—such as literature reviews, coding experiments, or data analysis—and collaborative meetings with your research team. Coordination is usually achieved through regular check-ins or virtual meetings, where progress is discussed and feedback is provided. You'll need to manage your schedule efficiently to align your independent work with the team's goals and deadlines. This structure allows flexibility but also requires strong communication and self-management skills to ensure research milestones are met.

Position Summary
The American Museum of Natural History is one of the world's preeminent scientific and cultural institutions, and has as its mission to discover, interpret, and disseminate information about human cultures, the natural world, and the universe through a wide-ranging program of scientific research, education, and exhibition.
The Museum's Youth Initiatives (YI) group, part of the department of Education, is seeking part-time Research Mentors, responsible for conducting an independent research project with high school students.
Research Mentors will work with students through either the Science Research Mentoring Program (SRMP) or Lang Science Scholars program. Research Mentors will supervise students in the laboratory and guide them through a research project that is either an active project of the scientist's or a project within the scientist's scope of work, while also supporting the students' professional trajectories. Research Mentors are responsible for choosing the research project the student will carry out. Research Mentors may also be responsible for supporting student advisory sessions, interviews, and participating in mentorship workshops.
The Research Mentors report to the SRMP Manager, but may work with other YI staff, and must have pre-existing research lab or research privileges in an AMNH research facility.
Job duties include, but are not limited to:
  • Mentor three to six high school students.
  • Assist the students in developing and executing a research project that allows students to engage in all aspects of the scientific method, including training needed in any specialized techniques relevant to the project.
  • Create a welcoming, inclusive environment where students can develop their sense of belonging in STEM.
  • Assist students in creating and presenting a scientific poster, talk, and paper.
  • Conduct email and in-person check-ins with YI staff.
  • Attend mentor professional developments (PDs) and other required trainings for part-time Museum staff.

The expected salary for the Science Research Program Mentor is $53.99/hour. This position is overtime-eligible.
Pay will be determined based on several factors. The hiring range for the position at commencement is based on the type of work and the scope of responsibilities. The salary and placement offered is based on a number of individualized factors, including, but not limited to, skills, knowledge, training, education, credentials, areas of specialization, and depth and scope of experience.
Minimum Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree or higher in a science-related field.
  • Must have a record of and be actively engaged in research.
  • Must have lab or research privileges in an AMNH research facility.

Preferred Qualifications
  • Master's degree or PhD in science.
  • Experience working with high school students.

Physical Demands
  • Must be able to remain in a stationary position (sitting or standing) for prolonged periods.
