The Thomas Harriot College of Arts and Sciences (https://thcas.ecu.edu/) is home to sixteen academic departments, several interdisciplinary research centers, and a number of inter- and multi-disciplinary programs (https://thcas.ecu.edu/undergraduate-programs/). The College seeks to create an environment that fosters the recruitment and retention of our student body, faculty, staff, and administration and works to increase access to higher education by building a culture of care, belonging, and opportunity.

The Department of Mathematics at https://math.ecu.edu/ is one of the sixteen departments of the Thomas Harriot College of Arts and Sciences at East Carolina University and offers the BA, BS, and MA degrees in mathematics. Faculty in the department hold doctoral degrees from top universities and engage in research and publication.

As a department, we serve a wide range of students—from those fulfilling their general education requirements to graduate students in mathematics—and are committed to helping all of them reach their mathematical goals. Our department is an active participant in the system-wide Math Pathways initiative (https://www.utdanacenter.org/our-work/higher-education/dana-center-mathematics-pathways). ECU Department of Mathematics also provides the leadership and administrative home for North Carolina’s Early Mathematics Placement Testing Center (https://sites.ecu.edu/ncempt/).

The Department of Mathematics invites applications for a full-time, non-tenure-track, fixed-term, faculty position at the title of Teaching Instructor, Teaching Assistant Professor, or Teaching Associate Professor (depending upon qualifications) for the 2025-2026 Academic Year, with the possibility of subsequent appointments. The faculty member filling this role will be expected to provide high quality, accessible undergraduate instruction in mathematics and/or statistics through 100% online asynchronous teaching at an accelerated pace as part of a new UNC System online education partnership called Project Kitty Hawk (https://www.northcarolina.edu/project-kitty-hawk/). Project Kitty Hawk, or PKH, is designed to primarily serve adult learners and part-way home students and is a critical component of the university’s strategic plan. ECU offers several Flight Path programs that require students to demonstrate mathematics competency; see https://onlineprograms.ecu.edu/. The expected course load is eight courses per academic year (24 credit hours, 6 in each of 4 blocks), and faculty are expected to take advantage of various student success initiatives available at ECU. Service to the department, the university, and the profession is expected.

This position may be eligible for Flexible Work Arrangements (FWA) ranging from face-to-face to fully remote under the ECU FWA Policy.

Contingent upon available funding.

A Master’s degree or higher and 18 graduate-level credit hours in Mathematics and/or Statistics is required for appointment as Teaching Instructor. In addition to the requirements for Teaching Instructor, a terminal degree in Mathematics, Statistics, or closely related fields, appropriate to the area of instruction, is required for consideration for appointment as Teaching Assistant Professor or Teaching Associate Professor.
