What is a science temp?

A Science Temp is a temporary employee who works in scientific roles or environments, such as laboratories, research institutions, or technical support positions. These roles are usually contract-based or short-term assignments, helping organizations meet project deadlines, fill in for permanent staff, or manage workload spikes. Science Temps often have specialized training or degrees in scientific fields like biology, chemistry, or environmental science. The flexibility of temp work allows both employers and employees to address immediate needs without long-term commitment. This type of work can also provide valuable experience and networking opportunities for those looking to advance their scientific careers.

As a Science Temp, you can expect to work on a variety of assignments ranging from laboratory experiments and data analysis to assisting with fieldwork or supporting research documentation. Typically, Science Temps are brought in during periods of high workload, to cover employee absences, or to provide specialized skills on short-term projects. This role often involves close collaboration with permanent scientists and research staff, allowing you to gain hands-on experience while supporting ongoing research initiatives. Being adaptable and a quick learner is key, as project scopes and team structures can change rapidly. The temporary nature of the role also offers valuable exposure to different scientific environments and can serve as a stepping stone for more permanent positions.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a science temp, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Science Temp, you generally need a background in scientific research or laboratory work, often supported by a relevant degree in biology, chemistry, or a related field.

Job description

St. Norbert College (SNC), a nationally-ranked, private, Catholic, liberal arts college is seeking a pool of qualified applicants for possible temporary part-time teaching assignments. These positions are filled on an as needed basis and are on-going recruitments. Assignments may include day, evening and weekend courses and may be in -person, online or blended courses.

As staffing needs arise, the dean of arts and sciences will review the pool and contact those applicants they are interested in interviewing. There are also times that adjunct faculty are needed to fill a last minute void as well. Therefore, departments are better able to communicate their most recent teaching needs at the time of interviews.

Minimum Academic Qualifications: The expectation is that individuals who teach at the undergraduate level will typically hold a master's or higher in the discipline or subfield in which they teach.

Minimum Professional Experience: At least five years of professional experience in the field with demonstrated currency in the field at the time of appointment (work experience, publications, licensure, presentations, or equivalent within the last five years).

All decisions are made upon the discretion of the department. Applicants who meet the minimum requirements are not automatically accepted to teach at St. Norbert College.

As this is for a pool of applicants, it may take time before you hear anything. If a dean or chair of a department has already reached out to you to teach, please continue with the application process to confirm your interest.

Applicants should upload a cover letter indicating the area of discipline they are interested in along with a current cover letter or CV.

Disciplines within Arts and Sciences include:

  • Art

  • Chemistry

  • Communication and Media Studies

  • Computer Science

  • Earth Science

  • English

  • History

  • Math

  • Masters of Theological Studies

  • Modern Languages and Literature
