Job Description

The Systems Engineering Research Center (SERC) seeks an individual with versatile technical and creative skills for a core role on its communications team.

The SERC is a university-affiliated research center (UARC) of the United States Department of Defense (DoD), anchored at Stevens Institute of Technology and including faculty researchers at more than 25 universities nationwide.

Qualifications and Responsibilities

• With at least five years of experience, the ideal candidate has the expertise to create and edit pages for the SERC website, elevating the site's visual appeal, information organization, and user experience. Basic graphic design experience is required with programs like Photoshop and Canva. A related task involves uploading reports and updating information on the SERC research database.


• Accuracy is essential for names, titles, technical terms and other details. Many projects require the ability to act quickly.


• This role also calls for an ability to access, organize, analyze and present website data from Google Analytics. The ideal candidate will have a sense of how communication integrates with and evolves through technology and can analyze data to contribute ideas and strategies.


• An exceptional candidate will have experience with building and managing virtual events on Zoom, Teams, and other virtual platforms. Familiarity with government operations, especially the DoD, will also draw interest.


• The SERC team is diverse in numerous ways. The ideal candidate must be comfortable interacting with a mosaic of skill sets, personalities, and backgrounds. Many interactions will be virtual due to the team's national reach. This role is open to the best candidate wherever they live, though being able to commute to the SERC office in Hoboken, NJ, is a plus. This role may require periodic travel for SERC events in the Washington, DC area or to other locales.
