BeMo Academic Consulting Looking for Academic Consultant at Canada Full Time

Academic Consultant (PhD), Part-time, Remote

Application Deadline: December 17, 2023 @ 11:59 PM EST

**This opportunity is for individuals residing in Canada only**

Overview:

BeMo has an immediate need for a top caliber PhD (preferably in Life Sciences) to join our team as a part-time Academic Consultant. The role involves helping our students with review and critique of their applications (Note we do NOT write any application documents for our students, rather we teach them how to make their applications stand out), and admissions interview preparation.

Are You The Needle in a Haystack?

Would you like to contribute to our mission of helping students achieve their academic and career goals?

Would you like to help us promote diversity so that everyone has an equal chance at higher education regardless of racial, cultural, or socioeconomic background?

Would you like to be part of a team that is shaping the future of admissions?

If you answered “yes”, Here’s a little bit about us:

You’ve probably never worked with anyone like us before. We’re a dynamic team of practicing professionals, researchers, and scholars, with a passion for helping students to reach their academic and career goals. We often go above and beyond to deliver the best possible services we can to our students. We make sure we are highly knowledgeable about the ever-changing landscape of admissions by studying and researching admissions trends. We take our own medicine and we are constantly training to keep our individual performance and the performance of our company exceptional.

We take our role very seriously and contribute to our company on a regular basis because we understand the long-term impacts of our work. We know how to manage our time and fulfill competing demands. We are constantly looking for ways to improve our services and their impact and we are not afraid to share our ideas and collaborate with our team members. We put our company and our mission first before our own personal needs and desires. This is not a “job” to us. This is a calling. Our passion for mentoring our students and making admissions fair and scientifically sound is what gets us up in the morning. Importantly, we understand that our company is only as great as its individual members. That’s how we have become a leading academic consulting firm and that’s why we are extremely selective about our team and only pick the very best to join us and we do everything we can to support them.

We want to foster an environment where we drive team members to succeed within their role and believe in the mission and values of BeMo.

If you are resistant to learning more about admissions and coaching students because you believe you already know everything, if you are seeking a side job just to make a few bucks or to add another entry to your CV, if you normally don’t pay much attention to detail, or if you are looking for a short-term gig with little impact and growth, then we’re probably not right for you.

If you truly understand admissions, have outstanding written and verbal communications skills, are willing to learn more and implement new strategies to coach our students and create new programs, would love to be a part of a team to change the future of admissions, and are looking for a long-term mission with a significant impact on society, then you need to apply. Now.
