The Mathematics Department at The University of Tennessee, Knoxville seeks outstanding educators to contribute to its teaching mission by filling several lecturer positions to start on August 1, 2023. These are non-tenure track, nine-month, full-time teaching positions. A Master’s Degree in Mathematics (not Mathematics Education) is required, and Ph.D. in Mathematics or a related area (including Mathematics Education) is preferred.

Full-time lecturers have voting rights in the department and are supervised by both the Associate Department Head for General Math Education and the Department Head. There is a well-defined promotion ladder from Lecturer (1-year contract) to Senior Lecturer (3-year contract) to Distinguished Lecturer (5-year contract). Lecturers also can teach in summer and winter mini-terms and receive the highest priority for those additional teaching opportunities. Lecturers, Senior Lecturers, and Distinguished Lecturers in the Mathematics Department at the University of Tennessee are an integral part of the educational mission of the university. Lecturers of all ranks contribute to pedagogically innovative teaching/learning and hold a variety of service roles in the Department, College, and Campus including serving on the University Faculty Senate. Several Senior and Distinguished Lecturers engage in the professional development of graduate teaching assistants as part of the departmental GTA Teaching Advising Program. Others network with Math Instructors from other institutions through the MAA CoMInDS project. Outstanding lecturers with a Ph.D. in mathematics may have the opportunity to teach and mentor students as part of the department’s unique online Master of Mathematics (MM) program aimed at working high school teachers.

The University of Tennessee at Knoxville is the flagship university in the Tennessee state higher education system. The University is in the midst of an expansion and these positions fit into a long-term growth plan. In recent years, the Department of Mathematics has steadily increased its research and teaching prominence both within the University and in the larger mathematical community. The state of Tennessee is in strong fiscal condition, and the University has provided salary increases for the past ten consecutive years. Knoxville is a vibrant and diverse medium-sized city located within easy driving distance to Ashville, Nashville, Atlanta, the Great Smoky Mountains, and Oak Ridge National Lab. It has a beautiful and walkable downtown, varied nightlife, eclectic shopping and restaurants, and a relatively low cost of living.

Candidates must apply in the Interfolio system by following this link (http://apply.interfolio.com/120078). The required application materials include a cover letter, current CV, statement of teaching philosophy, copies of student evaluations when available, and copies of graduate transcripts (unofficial is OK at this point; official transcripts will be required prior to employment).

Candidates should arrange at least two, and preferably three, letters of reference regarding teaching which should be uploaded to the Interfolio system directly by the letter writers.
