Math Teaching Fellow

Boston University Academy is seeking a full-time Math Teaching Fellow to begin in August 2022. Teaching fellowships are generally two-year positions and offer relatively new teachers opportunities for experience, mentorship, and professional growth. Teaching fellows teach a reduced courseload. Primary responsibilities for this position include teaching one or two sections of math, advising senior thesis projects in STEM fields, assisting with the junior-year STEM seminar, serving in the math center, and contributing to other aspects of independent school life: leading clubs and activities, chaperoning trips, and possibly coaching; applicants with a particular interest in assisting with robotics and/or computer science are encouraged to share that in their cover letters. The fellowship also features opportunities to observe other teachers, be observed, discuss teaching practice, and potentially engage in graduate work at BU – taking advantage of the University’s generous tuition remission policy. The teacher will join a five-person department committed to inquiry-based approaches and student-centered math teaching and learning.

The ideal candidate will have some experience working with adolescents, a degree in a related field, a student-centered approach, and deep content knowledge. For all positions, we look for candidates who enjoy working with colleagues in a collaborative environment, who are flexible and creative, who will fully engage in the life of the school, and who are committed to fostering an inclusive and equitable community.

As the only high school in New England that is part of a major research university, Boston University Academy (BUA) offers students who love learning both a traditional, caring independent school experience and access to a broad range of university courses. In the eleventh and twelfth grades, students follow their passions by regularly completing up to twelve courses from Boston University’s undergraduate curriculum. The school’s 220 students are curious, capable, and kind. They come from 60 cities and towns in the Greater Boston area. 59% of students identify as students of color. 30% of students are on financial aid — a reflection of BUA’s commitment to equity and access.

Boston University’s generous benefits package includes health, dental, life insurance, and paid time off. Full-time employees are also eligible for tuition remission for graduate work at Boston University, and remission extends to dependents as well. For more details on benefits, please refer to the Boston University benefits page here.

To apply, please upload a resume, list of references (if available), and cover letter addressed to Dr. Rosemary White, Associate Head of School, to buacareers@bu.edu. Please send any questions to buacareers@bu.edu
