Job description
From Indigo Research’s job post, as they wrote it.
Indigo Research Mentor
Indigo Research matches highly motivated high school students with academic mentors to complete college-level independent research projects, such as literature reviews, research papers, or applied work like apps. As a mentor, you'll guide a student through scoping, researching, and writing their project over a multi-month engagement, working remotely via video call.
This is rewarding work that asks for genuine commitment. Students depend on their mentors for consistent guidance, thoughtful feedback, and sustained investment in their growth as young researchers.

* Demonstrated independent research output in your field (published papers, conference work, thesis, or equivalent)
* Prior experience teaching, mentoring, or advising students - ideally with undergraduates or high school students
* Genuine interest in working with high schoolers on long-form projects, including the patience required to scaffold college-level work for a pre-college audience
* Cross-cultural fluency, with the ability to communicate effectively with a globally diverse student body
* Steady availability and engagement throughout the mentorship
* Comfortable with two-way feedback, both with students and the program team
