Candidates should also present evidence of good mentoring, organizational, and administrative skills.

Our undergraduate courses range in size from 15 to 40 students enabling engaged, active learning and we strive to create an inclusive community that inspires and encourages collaboration. We are actively working to improve our first-year calculus courses in order to smooth the students’ transition from high school.

Qualified candidates should submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, a teaching statement, a teaching portfolio, and three letters of recommendation.

The teaching statement should convey the candidate’s teaching philosophy and practices. In addition, it should outline the candidate’s ability to work with students from diverse backgrounds and to potentially serve as a mentor for students from traditionally under-represented groups.

The teaching portfolio should illustrate previous teaching experience. It could, for instance, include course materials written by the applicant. Please include summaries of recent student evaluations (at most 5 pages) if available. Candidates should be prepared to provide full teaching evaluations upon request.

All letters of recommendation should address the candidate’s qualifications as a teacher. Reference letter writers will be asked to submit their letters online through Mathjobs.
