    Job Description

    Columbia University's Pre-College Programs for High School Students is seeking qualified candidates to develop and teach on-campus (i.e., in person) courses during Summer '24.

    Please Note: Course(s) and course availability is subject to change. Dates and class times are tentative and subject to change.

    Sessions:

    • Summer B: July 16th - August 2nd

    Class Times:

    • 9:10-11am & 1:10-3pm EST (roughly 4 hours per day)

    Course description:

    Socializing is a key part of being human. And, while being social may sound simple, the complexities behind interaction directly impact the world in which we live. Sociology, by definition, is the study of social change, life, and causes of human behavior, and a career in this field can be both challenging and fulfilling. Through this introductory course, students explore foundational concepts in sociology, including literature on socialization, cultural phenomena, urbanization, and inequity. Specifically, students will explore sociological institutions (family, government, etc.), growing concerns of social inequality, and popular theories that impact the world in which we live.

    By the end of the course, students will be able to appreciate human interaction in a new way, and become empowered to be agents of change themselves.

    Learning Objectives:

    • Distinguish between sociology and other social sciences.
    • Discuss why sociological principles are imperative to understanding human behavior.
    • Describe growing concerns of (and possible solutions to) social inequality.
    • Practice applying theories and frameworks to real-world social problems.

    Responsibilities:

    • Develop course content, syllabus, lesson plans, and assigned work
    • Lead and attend all in-person class sessions
    • Establish and maintain a dynamic in-class environment tailored for our high school population
    • Evaluate student work and write a holistic evaluation of each participant after the course ends
    • Monitor and address student concerns and inquiries (you will have around 20-24 students)
    • Attend and complete all required online trainings

    Qualifications

    • Graduate degree or equivalent professional or academic background
    • Expertise in the pertinent subject matter
    • Aptitude for teaching

    Hiring Salary Range:

    • Summer B on-campus: $6,150 - $7,850

    Additional Information:

    • All applications must be made here:
    • Please submit a resume inclusive of teaching experience as well as formal teaching evaluations (if available)
    • Applicants must have U.S. work authorization and will need to be in the U.S. while teaching
