Position Description
Visiting Assistant Professor or Lecturer of Mathematics, Georgetown College, Georgetown, Kentucky The Department of Mathematics, Physics, and Computer Science at Georgetown College invites applications for a Visiting Assistant Professor or Lecturer of Mathematics, beginning in August 2025, pending final funding approval. Rank is dependent upon the applicant’s qualifications (a Ph.D. in mathematics for Visiting Assistant Professor, a master’s in mathematics for Lecturer). The Department offers B.A. degrees in mathematics and engineering mathematics and minors in computer science, mathematics, physics and data analysis. In addition, the Department hosts a pre-Engineering transfer program and participates in a consortium through which students can obtain majors in web design and information technology. Emphasis is placed on teaching excellence in the context of a church-related college; research and professional development are encouraged and supported. The teaching load is the equivalent of four three-hour courses per semester. For Fall 2025, the teaching load will primarily consist of service courses. The successful candidate would join a team of two physicists and four mathematicians who value active learning in the classroom and the systematic development, both in class and in extracurricular activities, of communication and collaboration skills in addition to the critical thinking and problem-solving skills typically associated with the study of mathematics. We also value—and have always enjoyed—strong collegiality both within the Department and across campus. Students in our Department often participate in either our institution’s Science Honors Program, which funds a summer of undergraduate research, or in its Oxford Honors Program, under which our mathematics majors can spend one or two terms at Oxford University. Scholarly interests among the current mathematicians include operator algebras, abstract algebra, mathematics education, undergraduate statistics education, mathematical modeling, data science and the history of mathematics. We welcome candidates from any mathematical specialty, but in particular welcome applicants who could share in the teaching of a limited number of courses in elementary computer programming and data science. Georgetown College is a private liberal arts institution in Central Kentucky serving approximately 1200 undergraduate students. The College does not discriminate, either in the admission of students, the hiring and promotion of employees, or in the administration of any of its educational policies, programs, or activities on the basis of race, color, national or ethnic origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, age or disability. The College is a historically Baptist institution, and all full-time tenure-track faculty are expected to be Christian. In keeping, however, with Georgetown’s firm commitment to academic freedom, no creed or statement of faith is imposed upon employees, nor is any one theological orientation or expression of spirituality singled out for special favor. Interested persons should submit a cover letter, vita, copies of transcripts, statement of teaching philosophy, and three letters of recommendation to Dr. Jonathan Sands Wise at provost@georgetowncollege.edu. Applications are accepted until the position is filled; review will begin as applications are received. More information about the college can be found at www.georgetowncollege.eduWe are not accepting applications for this job through MathJobs.Org right now. Please see the job description above on how to apply.
