Scientist / Academic Consultant – PhD, Part-time to start and transition to full-time, Remote

Are you the needle in a haystack?

Would you like to help students, who are genuinely interested in becoming outstanding future professionals, navigate their way through the maze of admissions process by delivering world-class mentorship and training? Would you like to make sure no one is treated unfairly due to their cultural, racial or social status? Would you like to help us create the next generation of educational programs and admissions screening tools?

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 to help students reach their academic and career goals. We go above and beyond to deliver the best possible services we can to our students. We make sure we are highly knowledgable 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.

While some of us have other jobs (most of us are dedicated full-time), we take our role very seriously and contribute to our company on a regular basis because we understand the long-term impact of our work. We know how to manage our time and competing demands. We are constantly looking for ways to improve our services and impact and we are not afraid to share our ideas and collaborate with our team members. We put our company and our missions 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’ll be honest; working at BeMo isn’t for everyone. If you are resistant to learn 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, willing to learn more and implement new strategies to coach our students, create new programs, love to be a part of the team to change the future of admissions, and looking for a long-term mission with significant impact on society, then you need to apply. Now.
