The School of Arts & Sciences at Mount St. Joseph University invites applications for a full-time Assistant Professor or Instructor of Mathematics position, beginning August 2026. This position offers an opportunity to contribute to a student-centered program with strong ties to teacher preparation and a growing emphasis on applied and interdisciplinary learning.

Mount St. Joseph University is well known for its excellence in education programs, and this role will play an important part in supporting and mentoring future mathematics educators. The successful candidate will work closely with undergraduate math education majors and collaborate with faculty across disciplines.

Pedagogy is central to this position. We are especially interested in candidates who demonstrate a strong commitment to effective, evidence-based teaching practices and who are passionate about helping students learn, persist, and succeed in mathematics. The ideal candidate will bring thoughtful approaches to instruction, including active learning, inclusive teaching strategies, and a focus on conceptual understanding.

In addition, the position will support the university's expanding computer science offerings, including providing instruction in statistics and calculus that supports the planned Artificial Intelligence (AI) major. This creates a unique opportunity to connect mathematics instruction with real-world applications in data, computing, and emerging technologies.

Candidates with experience or interest in applied tools such as Python, SQL, or data visualization platforms (e.g., Tableau or Power BI) are especially encouraged to apply. These skills will allow the candidate to contribute to a broader range of courses and support interdisciplinary teaching across mathematics, data, and computing.

Candidates with K-12 teaching experience who are interested in transitioning to higher education are strongly encouraged to apply.
