Position SummaryMichigan State University (MSU) and MSU's Lyman Briggs College (LBC) actively promote a dynamic research and learning environment in which qualified individuals of differing perspectives and cultural backgrounds pursue academic goals with mutual respect and shared inquiry.
Founded in 1967, LBC is a vibrant residential STEM college at MSU that focuses on the study of science in its social, historical, and humanistic contexts. This pool posting is for qualified candidates to teach as an Instructor (with Master's degree) or an Assistant Professor (with Ph.D.) for our introductory mathematics courses. Please note that this is a fixed term position and teaching needs may vary from one to three courses per semester, depending on the needs of the college. The review of applications is ongoing and continuous, as needed.
LBC's curriculum integrates cutting-edge student-focused science pedagogy with an innovative interdisciplinary curriculum that explores the sciences and the human and social dimensions of the sciences. Our introductory mathematical science courses include college algebra, precalculus, a three-semester calculus sequence, and an introductory statistics course for scientists. We value teaching approaches that include high degrees of empirically-supported best-practices, including elements such as interactive engagement and peer-learning. Our introductory courses include both instructor-led lectures and peer learning assistant-led recitations. Instructors prepare all course materials, including materials for the peer learning assistants to use in recitation, e.g. worksheets to facilitate small group work. The course instructor will need to become familiar with the online homework system, which can vary by course assignment. Since we are seeking candidates for a pool of available instructors for our classes, specific course needs will vary from semester to semester.
