D-Lab seeks an Excel Fellow for Spring 2026
We’re looking for an Excel Fellow to lead our Excel Fundamentals workshop series during the coming spring semester (with the possibility to continue). This will be both online and in-person.
What is “Excel Fundamentals”?
This is D-Lab’s 2-part, 6-hour introduction to Microsoft Excel for students, faculty, and researchers who want to build data management and analysis skills.
In the workshop you will help participants learn how to:
-
Navigate and customize the Excel interface
-
Enter, clean, and organize data efficiently
-
Use essential formulas and functions (e.g., SUM, AVERAGE, IF, VLOOKUP)
-
Create and format tables for analysis
-
Build simple charts and visualizations
-
Use data tools like sorting, filtering, and conditional formatting
-
Apply practical strategies for working with real-world datasets
What We Need from You (Fellow Responsibilities)
-
Lead 6 workshops during the spring semester
-
Ensure participants have Excel installed and materials ready ahead of time
-
Use clear examples and demo datasets to guide beginners and intermediate learners
-
Be comfortable teaching both the technical and conceptual sides of data work in Excel
-
Possibly help update workshop materials, collect feedback, and refine future offerings
Commitment
-
Stipend: $1,300
-
Time commitment: workshop facilitation + prep + coordination
-
D-Lab does not grade, take attendance, or hold office hours — your role is instructional and facilitative
-
Expect to begin in January 2026 and continue through the end of the spring semester
-
This iteration will run 2-3 times in the spring semester
