The MIT IDEAS Competition (IDEAS) and the Public Service Fellowships
program are opportunities offered by the MIT Public Service Center (PSC)
to enable MIT students to serve communities worldwide in practical and
creative ways.  IDEAS is an initiative that engages student teams in
invention and design for community benefit. The Public Service
Fellowships program provides financial support and guidance that enables
MIT students to do intensive, capacity-building work in communities
worldwide.  More info: <http://web.mit.edu/mitpsc>

PSC IDEAS/Fellowships Coordinator.  The main responsibilities will be to
a) manage event planning and logistics, b) assist with publicity, c)
develop documentation materials, and d) assist with developing

otherwise the schedule is flexible, averaging 15-20 hours per week.

We are seeking a candidate with strong communication skills, the ability
