The Experimental Study Group (ESG) seeks a half-time Lecturer in Mathematics (50% level of effort for the academic year).

ESG is an interdisciplinary program for approximately 55 first year students in which we teach mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology and philosophy in small classes of typically 8-12 students. We are an academic community comprised of undergraduates, including ~40 upper class TAs, and instructors with our own classrooms, lounge, kitchen and staff offices. The program is dedicated to helping students identify their academic passions, take charge of their education, and think outside of the traditional box. Similarly, ESG staff are committed to educational innovation while teaching students the basic curricula in each subject. At any one time, ESG typically has several educational pilots that experiment with a variety of teaching modalities.

The lecturer’s primary responsibility will be to teach the first year Mathematics curriculum in Calculus, Multi-variable Calculus and Differential Equations, including coordinating topics, homework sets, exams, etc. The lecturer should also have the ability to teach computing as related to Mathematics and other scientific disciplines, including biology and physics. The lecturer will advise first-year students, supervise undergraduate TAs and engage with the broader ESG community. There is also opportunity to take part in a wide range of inter-disciplinary activities and seminars. We seek candidates interested in pedagogic innovation, with a commitment to student learning and well-being. Please demonstrate evidence of this commitment in your application.

PhD in Mathematics plus 3 years of teaching experience and evidence of a strong commitment to teaching and education is required.

Applications should be submitted online.
