The position begins in Fall 2022 and emphasizes teaching, outreach and scholarship activities. Initial appointments are for two years; an additional year may be sought, contingent on satisfactory performance. The typical applicant is a new or recent PhD looking to increase their experience before applying to tenure-track jobs at schools which emphasize teaching, or teaching-focused jobs within large departments.

APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS: Ph.D. or equivalent degree in mathematics by September 1, 2022, and teaching experience at the undergraduate level are required. Preference will be given to applicants within 3 years of their Ph.D. degree whose background and experience are compatible with the objectives described above. Candidates should have a demonstrated interest in interacting with K-12 mathematics teachers and students, but prior experience is not required. All applications should be submitted through MathJobs.
