Assistant Professor, Math (One-Year Special Appointment) Curry College has a deep commitment to supporting students' academic, personal, and professional development. It is the home of the Program for the Advancement of Learning, a first-of-its-kind program to support academically bright students with learning disabilities. Recently, Curry College has expanded offerings for students with learning and attention differences by launching a new Neurodiversity Center for Excellence and a tailored program, SAIL Social Achievement in Learning, that provides social coaching, transitional assistance, and sensory-friendly housing for students with diagnoses of ASD, non-verbal learning disorder, or social-pragmatic language disorder. The Mathematics Faculty are members of the Department of Natural Sciences and Mathematics. An NSF-supported project with PI and co-PI members of the mathematics faculty is actively investigating curriculum and pedagogy for teaching introductory statistics and involves most members of the mathematics faculty. The mathematics faculty works closely with faculty members across the College to ensure that the quantitative service courses match the needs of the various disciplines - business and data analytics, education, the social sciences, and the natural sciences. Curry College offers a generous benefits package including professional development funding. Faculty members teach two 16-week traditional semesters a year, one with four 3-credit courses and the other with three. Class sizes for mathematics classes are capped at 25 (and 16 for preparatory classes).
