Dear Graduate Students and Postdocs,

Our colleagues at Anne Arundel Community College are seeking scholars with science and/or math backgrounds, and at least a master’s degree, to teach classes in the sciences. There are at least three courses that need an instructor for the Spring 2015 semester. They are asking for applicants ASAP. In addition, the Math Department at AACC (where PROMISE AGEP Alum, Dr. Alycia Marshall is Chair) is seeking three full-time faculty positions. We have a partnership with AACC through our PROMISE AGEP and the PROF-it program (http://promiseagep.wordpress.com/archived-posts/prof-it-professors-in-training/) and we want to extend these opportunities to all graduate students and postdocs. Please consider these opportunities below.

—-FROM THE CHAIR OF THE PHYSICAL SCIENCES DEPARTMENT —–

The Physical Science department needs people interested and willing to teach General Physical Science Lecture and lab (PHS 100), General Chemistry Lecture and Lab (Che 111), Oceanography (PHS 109), and Physics Lecture and Lab (algebra or Calculus based).

The requirements for the position are a Master’s degree in the subject area or a related area (Many engineering degrees, or Science Education Degrees are acceptable). Teaching experience is preferred but not required.

All of our courses have course coordinators, and sample materials are readily available. All lab curriculum are set, and we have a full complement of lab staff, so instructors do not have to do any lab set up or take down.

If you are interested, send a resume/CV directly to me via email:
