This summer, change the lives of underserved students with exceptional potential in math!
Bridge to Enter Advanced Mathematics (BEAM), a project of the Art of Problem Solving Initiative, Inc., is seeking enthusiastic mathematics instructors for a 5 week long summer day camp. Faculty teach at least one course of their own design (pre-packaged courses designed by BEAM are available to teach as a second course if desired) to curious middle school students from low-income and historically marginalized communities and help us to build a community of math-lovers. Ideal Faculty candidates are middle school and high school teachers interested in enrichment math. We also welcome applications from college or university professors with strong teaching backgrounds. Junior faculty positions are also available for graduate students and early career teachers.
What You’ll Do:
As a Faculty member, you are a key component of the structure of our program. It is important to us that students are presented with challenging mathematical topics and that they are at the center of the math that happens in the classroom. Our students are inquisitive and enjoy working hands-on, discovering deep mathematics to grow as mathematicians. In a BEAM classroom, students work to discover patterns, connect with each other over their discoveries, make conjectures, and share arguments in favor of or against those conjectures with classmates and their instructor. You’ll support that by:
BEAM Discovery is a day camp, so it isn't necessarily a typical teaching job, but we think that's one of the great things about working with us! Our faculty teach courses they are passionate about and our students have the ability to choose which classes they take: this fosters a strong, positive relationship between enthusiastic learners and faculty who get to share their love of mathematics with them each day.
Who You Are:
Strong candidates will work well on a close-knit team and will be able to bring unique curriculum perspectives to the program. Experience with mathematics curriculum design for middle school audiences, with students from low-income or historically marginalized backgrounds or at Title 1 schools, and with other extracurricular outreach programs (such as math summer programs or math circles, MATHCOUNTS, programming workshops, or similar) are all beneficial. We will provide mentorship, textbooks, and other resources as needed. Beyond the classroom, we expect that faculty will create a fun and inclusive community with the students.
We’re interested in hiring people who are committed to growth. Faculty often return to work with us for multiple summers, and the feedback we get is that working for us allows them to identify and tackle growth opportunities that translate to their year-round jobs. We believe that we have as much to learn from our students as they do from us!
Details:
Locations:
BEAM Discovery's Los Angeles campus is located at Richard Merkin Middle School.
BEAM Discovery's New York campuses are located at New Designs High School (Downtown) and TBD Uptown location
Program dates:
* These dates are inclusive of the 5-week camp as well as pre-camp training and set-up and post-camp wrap-up. During this period, you would work Mondays - Fridays.
Compensation: $6,000 for Faculty for the time that the program runs. Part time positions are available with $3000 compensation. We do have a Senior Faculty position with $7,800 compensation for candidates who have grown with us over multiple summers or are exceptionally strong fits for the role. Eligibility for the Senior Faculty position will be assessed during the Faculty hiring process.
Applicants must be authorized to work for any employer in the US. We are unable to sponsor or take over sponsorship of employment Visa at this time. International graduate students able to obtain CPT or OPT are welcome to apply.
Application Process and Deadline:
The initial step is to submit your application, including resumé and responses to a few short application questions, via our online portal. When your application is complete, we will follow up with next steps.
