Are you passionate about sustainability? Do you see opportunities to make Leiden University more sustainable? Are you able to inspire, engage and empower students and staff to cooperate? This is your chance to contribute!
The Leiden University Green Office is the platform within the university where students and employees shape and execute innovative sustainable ideas. LUGO tries to make Leiden University more sustainable by contributing to the reduction of its ecological footprint. Furthermore, they create awareness about sustainability amongst students and staff.
Wanted for the Leiden Green Office Committee:
All positions require 2-4 hours/week, including a weekly meeting (1h). Due to the current situation, meetings will most probably be held online for the first half year. As such the events organized by this committee will also take place online. Depending on the regulations of Leiden University the meetings may later on be face-to-face. The face-to-face meetings will take place alternating in Leiden and The Hague. There is no monetary compensation for the position. All positions will be hired for 1 year.
OPEN POSITIONS:
OPEN POSITIONS:
The Administration officer will keep a protocol of committee meetings to ensure that other committee members do not lose track of LUGO’s planning. This includes keeping to-do lists for the upcoming events and making sure that all goals are reached on time.
The Brand Manager will be responsible to help represent LUGO during promotion events. Your main aim is to increase the visibility of LUGO in Leiden and The Hague and make people familiar with LUGO and the aims of the organization. Most importantly, you will be in close contact with LUGO’s board members (the Marketing and Outreach Coordinator and the Online Communication Coordinator), where you will be involved with the creation of promotional material both online and offline (eg. taking pictures for social media, writing promotional content).
The Outreach Officer will be in charge of finding interesting speakers and topics to share with the public. This also includes the communication with professors or other organizations we want to collaborate with.
The Project Manager has to think about how to realize the ideas we have for upcoming events. Should we present the next topic with a talk, with a Q&A, or should we prepare a quiz or some sort of competition? If you are creative and can think out of the box, this is the position for you! Because we will work a lot with online events, this also includes finding the right online platforms and getting familiar with their functions. If we can host face-to-face events again, this position also includes booking locations. The position also includes helping the Online Communication Coordinator with the writing of the descriptions of the events for the newsletter, Instagram and Facebook page.
