Job Summary:

Northwestern's Center for Connected Learning (CCL) and the NetLogo Center, both founded by Professor Uri Wilensky from the Northwestern Schools of Education and Engineering, are looking for a full-time Curriculum Developer and Teacher Educator. If you are passionate about science and the future of science education, this position is ideal for you! Professor Wilensky recently won the prestigious Yidan Prize, largely for his work on NetLogo, and you will be joining a small and dynamic team of dedicated researchers, software developers, and designers building great tools and curricula for STEM and education. NetLogo is a free award-winning agent-based modeling (ABM) software used by educators and scientists around the world for modeling and understanding complex systems across the natural and social sciences. ABM is a way to explore systems by programming many individual "agents" (people, cells, firms, animals, etc.) to follow simple rules. As agents interact, larger patterns—like traffic jams, epidemics, or market cycles—emerge. NetLogo is the most widely used software for ABM across research and education and has been used to help students learn about topics ranging from chemical reactions to economic systems, anything in which many individual parts interact to produce a larger pattern. To learn more, watch an introduction to NetLogo in education (6 min). We are seeking a developer who develops, codes, tests, and debugs new software or enhancements to existing software. Typically works with senior staff but may coordinate smaller or less complex projects independently. Designs and implements basic technical solutions ensuring that business needs and requirements are met. Performs basic system integration tasks. Provides estimation for assigned tasks. This is an initial 3 year term, renewable contingent upon available funding and performance.
