Position Summary

In collaboration with the Brown School’s Office of Admissions & Recruitment, Brown Application Reviewers will review, summarize, and evaluate applications for graduate school admissions for Master level programs in Social Work and Social Policy. Essential work includes reading, evaluating, and summarizing components of graduate prospective student applications (such as evaluating various professional and volunteer experiences; reviewing undergraduate and post-baccalaureate academics; assessing applicants’ writing and essays; identifying the strengths, talents, resiliency and potential of applicants).

Access to a personal computer and high-speed internet are required. This is a remote position with a flexible schedule, but BARS are expected to work 10-15 hours per week on average.
