The ideal candidate will take a role in developing curriculum and pedagogy with the intent of improving student learning in undergraduate courses in mathematics. Additionally, we are especially interested in an individual who can contribute through their teaching and service to the diversity and excellence of our academic community and foster an environment in which faculty, staff, and students from a variety of backgrounds, cultures and personal experiences are welcomed and thrive. The successful candidate will be expected to participate in assessment and conduct two-thirds of their teaching duties in mathematics within the EXCEL/COMPASS program which includes teaching the EXCEL STEM Seminar sequence. The remaining third of their teaching responsibilities will be within the Mathematics Department.

The selected candidate will work directly with iSTEM within the EXCEL/COMPASS program. The mission of EXCEL/COMPASS is to increase success in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) during a student’s transition to college by connecting UCF students, faculty, and STEM disciplines while creating a learning community to support discovery and engagement. EXCEL/COMPASS is structured to help students hone their math skills to easily master material in their STEM discipline. For more information about EXCEL/COMPASS, visit https://excel.ucf.edu/.

Minimum Qualifications: An M.S. degree (for instructor rank) or Ph.D. (for lecturer rank) in Mathematics or a closely related field from an accredited institution by the time of hire. In addition, the successful applicant must have undergraduate teaching experience in lower division courses.

Preferred Qualifications: Preference will be given to candidates with one or more of the following: • Equivalent of three years of full-time teaching experience. • Experience in STEM education and implementation of student success initiatives. • Experience using online technology in mathematics courses. • Experience coordinating courses with multiple sections. • Experience teaching and managing large lectures. • Experience in seeking external funding for educational research. • Experience with teaching in upper division courses.

Additional Application Materials Required: UCF requires all applications and supporting documents to be submitted electronically through the Human Resources employment opportunities website, https://www.ucf.edu/jobs.
