CAMPUS SPECIFIC INFORMATION

The Department of Mathematics and Computer Science at Bronx Community College is seeking a College Laboratory Technician (CLT) whose responsibilities are shared between the Department's mathematics instructional laboratories and the College's new Al Innovation Lab (Room CP 87). The Al Innovation Lab, funded through the CUNY Tech Futures initiative, is a shared hub for Artificial Intelligence, computer science, cybersecurity, networking, and emerging-technology education.
Reporting directly to the Department Chairperson, and in addition to the General Duties, the CLT will divide time between supporting the mathematics department and operating the Al Innovation Lab. This is a full-time, split-assignment position; the successful candidate should be comfortable working with mathematics instructors and a hands-on technology and fabrication lab.
