Data Science Mentor In Residence

The Company

SlideRule (www.mysliderule.com) is an education startup built by a team that’s passionate about fixing education and bridging the skills gap.
We’ve been written up in Lifehacker, Venturebeat, TechCrunch and MakeUseOf, and have been on the front page of HackerNews and Reddit. We’re just getting started!

The Gig

We’re looking for a course coach/mentor for our Data Science Workshop – a novel approach to Data Science education that combines the flexibility of online learning with the effectiveness of one-on-one human interaction.

Your primary responsibility will be to ensure that students get the best possible learning experience. You will have regular check-ins with students
– to help them set and achieve learning goals, answer subject matter questions, provide feedback on project work, and help them get unstuck (if required, by tapping into our network of experts).

You will work closely with the founders on measuring effectiveness, and give inputs for course development. As an early member of the team, you will have a significant opportunity to shape the company and grow with it.

This will begin as a part-time contract position with a minimum commitment of 10 hours per week, with a path to a full-time role.

The Ideal Candidate

Is as passionate about teaching Data Science as about Data Science itself.

Is likely a Math/Stats/Econ Major with programming experience, or a CS major with some stats experience.

Is familiar with R and its various libraries for data analysis.

Has empathy and excellent communication skills.

Is excited about startups and having a big impact on the world through education

Location: We’d prefer to have you come work with us in our super fun San Francisco offices (where we have cool people, free beer and snacks!). Not in the bay area? Don’t hesitate to apply — we’re open to a remote/flexible setup for the right candidate.

Please email founders@mysliderule.com if you are interested.

Expiration Date: None
