ROLE of the POSITION

The University of Nevada, Las Vegas invites applications for a full-time, non-tenure-track (NTT), Assistant Professor-in-Residence of Mathematics in the Honors College. At UNLV, the “in-Residence” label refers to teaching positions with a service component but no research requirement. The Honors College seeks candidates whose teaching and service have prepared them to enhance our commitment to student development in higher education.

The faculty member’s main duties are to teach Calculus I and Calculus II to Honors students using technology relevant to classroom pedagogy. Typically, Honors College faculty have a teaching load averaging 12 credits of teaching a semester. The majority of Honors College courses are in person, although there are online and hybrid courses offered.

The successful candidate is also expected to mentor Honors College students, supervise Honors research thesis projects, collaborate with Honors College faculty and staff, and participate in appropriate levels of service to the college, university, and community.
