Job Announcement

Renewable Energy Teaching Work Available

The Iowa Renewable Energy Association is seeking an independent contractor
for 10 hours/week to coordinate our Renewable Energy Road Show. The
contractor's primary work will consist of bringing the Association's mobile
solar power station to an average of two Iowa K-12 schools per week,
presenting information about renewable energy. The power station, known as
the Solar Traveler, carries 1000 W of solar panels aboard a trailer pulled
by a biodiesel truck. A battery bank and inverter, also aboard the trailer,
allow the Traveler to deliver up to 4000 W of power.

Contract duties also include contacting schools to book the Traveler,
working with radio and newspapers to publicize the presentations, performing
routine bolt-tightening maintenance to the Traveler, and working with the
Association's Board to further develop the Traveler presentation. The
contract pays $10/hour, and includes approximately 4 hours/week of driving
time. The successful applicant will have good public speaking skills and an
enthusiasm for renewable energy. A valid Iowa drivers license is required.
Although the duties require familiarity with scientific information,
complete training with pay will be provided. To apply or receive more
information, contact the Iowa Renewable Energy Association at 563-432-6551
or irenew@irenew.org by April 9, 2004.
