MATLAB Student Ambassadors are important links between MathWorks and their universities. Located all over the world, ambassadors inform students about the availability of MATLAB and Simulink on campus and showcase the products’ functionality—all while earning money.
How It Works
POSITION
Duties of this paid position include hosting a minimum of two or three events on campus each semester and engaging fellow students with at least two to three social media posts per week. You may also have the opportunity to work on special projects.
SCHEDULE
Customize the experience to work for your schedule. The five-hours-per-week time commitment is flexible and allows you to balance your responsibilities as both a student and a MATLAB Student Ambassador.
SUPPORT
We provide the training and resources you need to get started, as well as ongoing support. Technical and non-technical experts at MathWorks are available to answer questions and help coordinate your semester plans and activities.
COLLABORATION
Work with other MATLAB Student Ambassadors from schools in your region to network and share ideas.
Teach, Learn, and Inspire
MATLAB expertise is not required. Our training program will help you hit the ground running. As a MATLAB Student Ambassador, you can leverage your love for technology while learning new things. Using the power of in-person and virtual events and social media, you’ll connect with professors and students to share this enthusiasm. In addition to strengthening your understanding of MATLAB and Simulink, you’ll boost your credentials and build valuable career skills, such as public speaking, networking, and time management.
Connect with Industry
Millions of engineers and scientists rely on MATLAB and Simulink in a wide range of applications and industries. You’ll become part of the global MATLAB community and gain essential professional experience by working with a leading technical computing software company while still in college.
Our MATLAB Student Ambassadors have numerous reasons for doing the job, and have enjoyed many benefits as a result.
Nodoka
University of Tokyo
“As a MATLAB Student Ambassador, you can expect to improve your MATLAB skills. More importantly, you’re guaranteed to fall in love with MATLAB! MathWorks staff will help you with everything from MATLAB skills to preparing for the event, so don’t be afraid to apply.”
Xiabo
Southwestern University of Finance and Economics
“My favorite moment so far as a MATLAB Student Ambassador was when I helped others to learn MATLAB Onramp during the first campus event that I organized.”
Nina
Stockholm University
“I needed to use MATLAB for one course and so taught myself the basics. After hearing about my newfound interest in programming, one of my associates recommended that I apply to be a MATLAB Student Amabassador. During the years that I have held the position I learned about hosting and promoting events, and even creating videos. What I didn't count on was that my math skills would be strengthened.”
Leah
University at Buffalo
“I applied to be a MATLAB Student Ambassador because I wanted to hone my own MATLAB skills. They say that teaching is the best way to learn!”
Daniele
Politecnico di Milano
“As a MATLAB Student Ambassador I improved my public speaking skills—and have been able to test myself in front of a large number of students like me. Other skills I learned are the management and organization necessary to host events. Last but not least, I have learned how to relate to and collaborate with my supervisor.”
Lucía
Universidad Carlos III de Madrid
“I wanted to be a MATLAB Student Ambassador because it’s a good opportunity to encourage the students at my university to use MATLAB and Simulink, learn from the software, and start creating their own projects.”
Elizabeth
University of Birmingham
“Students as well as professors have attended my events, where I helped them better understand the material and how MATLAB is used in industry.”
“I believe that MATLAB Student Ambassadors can provide a benefit in terms of curricular and extracurricular innovative teaching activities by supporting students’ work and promoting participation in hackathons and competitions.”
— Maurizio Magarini, associate professor, Politecnico di Milano
