Now that the Fall semester has started our student assistants are going back to class and we need to fill the gap while they are gone. We thought the best way to do that is to hire another student Web developer.

Here’s who we’re looking for:

• Freshman or sophomore computer science student (but not limited to)
• Prefer PHP, MySQL, jQuery, MVC and Smarty (or similar) experience
• Interest in contributing or previous experience with open source software
• Excited about working with a lot of data
• Interested in a career in Web development long term

If you were working for us, here are some of the things you would be doing:

• Talk through the implementation of a new feature in the CMS with the senior developers
• Fix a small CSS display bug in IE7 on a departmental homepage
• Take a paper form and turn it into a web form with validation
• Add a module to an existing site to view and export entries from a web form
• Meet with one of our web designers to go over a mockup to determine which parts of the design may be difficult to implement
• Take a PSD created by the designers as turned it into an HTML template in our CMS
• Track down and fix a bug in an existing application that locked a user out of their manager
• Create a database query to connect a few tables and export the results as a CSV
• Answer emails from our clients (departments on campus) in a timely and polite mannor
• Walk someone through adding an event on the university events calendar on the phone
• Review another developer's code for consistency and bugs
• Test a site for mobile phone compatibility and print friendliness

This list may look intimidating, you won't dive into everything your first week but it's just a little of what you will experience.

Experience is not important. We aren't interested in your resume, we don't care if your only other job is at McDonalds. We are looking for a student who is an aspiring web developer and has a passion to learn. We assure you will leave every day with more experience than you could ever get by yourself or sitting in class.

We are a teaching department, most of the full time staff started out as part time and grew in to full time positions while learning. Your education is important to us so we are very flexible about your schedule. We are looking for someone to work 10-20 hours per week with 10 hours being the minimum.

If this job sounds like something you’d love to do every day, we definitely want to hear from you. We need to hear from you!

Please get in touch by emailing web [at] wayne dot edu with a brief description of your experience and why you think you would be a good addition to our department. Please include “Student Developer” (no quotes) somewhere in the subject. Thanks!
