TitleSeeking African Language Professors
Body
Avant Assessment is developing or planning to develop proficiency assessments in Somali, Swahili, and Hausa over the next year. We are seeking Professors and Instructors of these languages, as well as Students who grew up speaking these languages (our work can qualify for OPT or CPT, which allows many holders of F-1 and J-1 visas to earn income legally in the US) to help us make sure that these tests are of the highest quality and authenticity.

Work on these projects will consist of temporary, part time assignments which you can complete in your home, using your computer equipment and internet access. Some of the tasks will require you to participate in live teleconferences or internet conferences. Some of these projects are in process now, and some of these projects will begin over the next few months.

We will train you via live internet sessions or live, 1 on 1 sessions, depending on your role in the project. We will pay you to attend and complete the training sessions. After training, you will be assigned to the manager of your project who will provide you with guidance and further instruction as you work on the project.

You will need to be available to communicate with Avant staff during normal US business hours - approximately 11:00 GMT to 21:00 GMT.

Please send your CV to recruiter@avantassessment.com along with any questions you may have. We will respond with more details and instructions.

We will be happy to help with OPT and CPT qualification questions, too - just ask!
