The Department of Mathematics is home to 17 full-time faculty as well as expert staff who are committed to equip students with the knowledge and skills necessary to succeed in their professional careers. Our programs include traditional math majors (BA and BS), as well as Actuarial, Financial, Computational, and Mathematics Education; we also support a broad range of programs outside the Department, including those in the School of Natural and Behavioral Sciences, School of Education, and the Murray Koppelman School of Business. We seek qualified individuals who can provide leadership to support undergraduate instruction for core courses, with a special focus on improving undergraduate success rates in general education Math courses and the calculus sequence.

Brooklyn College serves students from as many as 150 countries who speak over 100 languages and dialects and thus constitutes a vibrant microcosm of the rich diversity and energy that characterizes the borough of Brooklyn and the greater New York City area itself. Its mission features “a special commitment to educate immigrant and first-generation college students from the diverse communities that make up our city and state.” The college ethos is strongly invested in the educational and career success of our diverse students. We are committed to fostering a spirit of camaraderie and shared ideals. By accessing a first-class and affordable college education in an inclusive and nurturing intellectual milieu, our students acquire the skills, confidence, and global mindedness that allow them to thrive in a rapidly changing, unpredictable marketplace of ideas that is increasingly mindless of borders and spans cultures and vernaculars.

Together we will model the finest that a public urban liberal arts, sciences, and professional studies college can be for the present and future.

We seek a collegial team player with a demonstrated ability to lead a college-level math initiative and with knowledge and experience using cutting-edge and successful approaches to math education. We are looking for a talented and creative leader who will bring to the position a record of outstanding teaching effectiveness in undergraduate lower division math courses and experience in the ongoing assessment of student learning on the course and program levels. Extensive experience working with diverse urban college students, the ability to communicate clearly to students, faculty and administrators, and excellent organizational, and oral and written communication skills are required.
