Are you a scientist that wants to improve public knowledge about cancer as well as your own science communication skills?
We want to create an online quiz about cancer in order to spread general knowledge about the disease and inform a lay audience about some key aspects (not only medical, but also in terms of psychology, history, law, economics and social factors). Join our team!
WANTED
We are searching for interested doctoral candidates from all disciplines, who:
- help create an online quiz about cancer,
- dedicate some time for this from November 2020 – March 2021,
- are creative and flexible,
- want to spice up their science communication skills,
- want to gain some hands-on science communication experience for their CV,
- are willing to work together with a small multiprofessional and multilingual team.
While preparing and developing the quiz together with two professionals from the University (one cancer research scientist and one science communicator), you will learn how to break down science in an understandable way, how to set up an engaging science quiz and how to use online tools for public engagement. Thus, this outreach activity can be regarded as hands-on science communication training.
You can also gain 0.5 – 1 ECTS (workload of about 15 – 30 hours) in the context of outreach activities/transferable skills. Please contact descom@uni.lu for further details.
If you are interested in participating, please contact descom@uni.lu until 30th October 2020.
DESCOM and this outreach activity are supported by the Fonds National de la Recherche Luxembourg (FNR).
