Description
Auxiliary Health-Tech Instructor (Summer 2026)
Circuit Stream is a leader in future technology skills training and learning content. We offer world-class educational services for teen and adult learners with a focus on the skills needed to leverage immersive and emerging technology.
We are seeking passionate instructors with experience in healthcare, medical research, or health technology to join our Instructor roaster to teach our students ages 13-18. This course introduces learners to human physiology, data, and technology, exploring how modern tools such as wearable devices, imaging systems, and software platforms are transforming healthcare.
Students will engage in hands-on experiments measuring physiological, motor, brain imaging and cognitive functions, while learning to analyze and interpret data using tools such as Python, MATLAB, and imaging software with graphical user interfaces (GUI). The program culminates in a mini research project where students collect, analyze, and present scientific data as numerical outputs.
This is an auxiliary (substitute) instructor opportunity for Summer 2026. As part of our instructor roster, you'll be one of our trusted educators who can step in when needed to support our students. If our lead instructor is unavailable due to planned or unexpected leave, you'll confidently deliver our curriculum and ensure students continue to receive the exceptional learning experience Circuit Stream is known for.
