POSITION DESCRIPTION AND DUTIES

The City University of New York seeks an exceptional educator in Mathematics, Mathematics Education or Developmental Mathematics to serve on the faculty of its New Community College (NCC). The successful candidate will be a gifted instructor committed to preparing urban community college students, who typically enter unprepared to do college work, for academic success and completion. To do so, the candidate will make use of a range of effective curricular, pedagogical and support strategies and be flexible and open to sharing and learning from others. S/he must also possess an ability to analyze the conceptual demands of mathematical assignments across the disciplines. The candidate must share the College’s vision to serve a linguistically and culturally diverse student body. This tenured or tenure-track appointment (with rank depending on experience and qualifications) will begin in or before Fall 2012.

Located in Manhattan, the New Community College expects to admit the first cohort of 300 students in August 2012. The centerpiece of the NCC’s educational model is an integrated first-year curriculum that builds the academic, linguistic and affective skills necessary for success in college and career. Additional features of the model include using New York City as a context for learning in and out of the classroom, the integration of student support services, and the use of ePortfolios. The NCC will open with five majors: business administration, information technology, human services, liberal arts and sciences, and urban studies. At full capacity, the college will enroll 3,000 to 5,000 students.

The general responsibilities of the faculty member include but are not limited to teaching courses in the first-year core and in the majors; advising and supporting students as they progress; participating in committees and other governance structures; scholarship in the discipline and/or teaching and learning; and performing administrative, supervisory, and other functions as may be assigned.

Prior to NCC’s opening and in its early implementation stages, appointed faculty and staff will work as a team to develop programs at a new institution dedicated to rethinking community college education to improve student learning and completion. Candidates will have the capacity to work with their colleagues to develop courses and learning goals, to create learning communities, and to define and participate in faculty development initiatives. They also will be comfortable crossing disciplinary boundaries, as they will be expected to develop and teach interdisciplinary courses as well as in a major field.
Specifically, the successful candidate will:

• Participate in developing and refining curricula, learning objectives, and assessments.
• Participate in the ongoing development of appropriate policies and governance structures for the institution along with College’s leadership.
• Establish relationships with organizations who will contribute to the educational model.
• Be a member of an instructional team teaching in the College’s first-year core curriculum.
• Work towards the realization of an institution focused on preparing students for academic success, college completion and transition to further education or careers.

QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS

The successful candidate will have the following knowledge, skills, abilities/competencies, and professional attributes:

• A Doctoral degree in Mathematics, Mathematics Education, Applied Mathematics, Developmental Education with a specialty in Mathematics, or a closely related field required
• For doctoral degrees outside the mathematical sciences, a Master’s degree in the discipline is preferred
• Demonstrated capacity to use a diverse range of effective instructional strategies and openness to adopting new practices
• An understanding of urban community college students’ assets and challenges
Additional consideration will be given to applicants who have the above plus the following:

• Experience teaching developmental mathematics education
• Demonstrated experience in program or curriculum development
• A commitment and ability to take full advantage of a technology-rich environment
• Experience working with an economically and culturally diverse student body
• Capacity to establish partnerships with the public and private sectors
