Point University is seeking applicants for the position of Assistant Professor of Mathematics in the College of Arts & Sciences. Mathematics is foundational to our general education and is an important component of the curricula of many of our major degree programs. Our new colleague will primarily instruct students at our West Point, GA campus who choose to enroll in a traditional, residential experience and will also be expected to serve our online student population. 

Candidates will have a degree in mathematics education, mathematics, or a closely related field. An earned doctorate is preferred but not required. Strong applicants who will complete a terminal degree within two years will be considered. 

Primary teaching responsibilities may include Elementary Algebra, Intermediate Algebra, College Algebra, Pre-Calculus, Calculus I, and Quantitative Reasoning. Knowledge in the field of statistics and data analysis is a plus and will be well-received because of opportunities for interdisciplinary studies. 

Applicants must be committed to education, professional growth, service, and scholarship in a distinctively Christian setting, including agreement with the University’s mission and goals, values, and faith statement. As an educator, a commitment to student-centered pedagogy is desired for residential and virtual students, and growth in this skillset is fostered and encouraged. 

Point University is an independent liberal arts institution that educates students for “...Christ-centered service and leadership throughout the world.” Upon graduation, our students are prepared for intellectual, spiritual, and professional success and are equipped with tools for ongoing growth in their chosen profession and faith. 

Point's student body is representative of regional demographics and we also enroll a significant population of international students. Many of our students are athletes or work and must learn to balance the rigors of multiple obligations. As such, applicants must be enthusiastic about engaging a diverse student body whose members come from a multitude of backgrounds and experiences, all within the context of the institutional mission.
