Dear all,
I’m very excited to inform you that, apart from unpredictable events, there is an upcoming call for 2 tutors for AEPS. The call is specifically for first-year AEPS students who will enroll for the second year. The basic idea is to build up a system of tutorship in which second-year AEPS students (you) help fresh first years AEPS students to settle in the course, to help them understand and deal with the bureaucratic requests, to explain the deadlines and what should be done, and so on.
This new service is mainly focused on foreign AEPS students who may face a difficult time, especially initially, to understand how AEPS and especially the admin stuff works. Of course, also Italian students coming from outside Bicocca might find it very helpful (whereas we would expect that Bicocca students might already know how things work, but still it might be occasionally helpful for some of them as well). The tutor requires 150 hours of work spread in both semesters and it will be paid €2250 gross (roughly around €1650 net). The ideal profile is someone willing or keen on helping fellow students, knows how AEPS is organized, its course offers and its regulations, has good interpersonal skills, has good knowledge of English, can give tips and suggestions, and so on. The focus should not be on helping for exams preparation, but for all other aspects of AEPS and the relation with the external world especially the University administration and rules. There will be also a short initial formation stage for tutors by senior tutors. The call is for 2 tutors and I do really hope that at least some of you (minimum two…) will happily or even enthusiastically apply for it. Please note that the deadline will be around the first week of September and the selection will be on the 12th of September. There will be also an oral conversation in the selection procedure, so you will need to come here the 12th of September (details will be made available in time).
Please contact me or Hermann Bulf if you are interested and would like further details. We will be available starting from August 23rd (before we are away). In closing, I would like to emphasize again that at least two of you should apply. It is a very nice opportunity and a very important service for your fellow incoming new AEPS students!
Best and good holidays to everyone,
Marco
