Bridge to Enter Advanced Mathematics: Summer Faculty Positions in NYC

This summer, change the lives of talented 6th-grade students from underserved backgrounds.

Bridge to Enter Advanced Mathematics (BEAM), a project of the Art of Problem Solving Foundation, is seeking instructors for a program that gives everyone a chance to excel in mathematics. Faculty teach courses to motivated, underserved 6th grade students on topics such as Logical Reasoning, Math Fundamentals, and Math Team Strategies. Additionally, you may design your own Applied Math course (such as programming, astrophysics, or mathematical biology) or Afternoon Math Circle session.

In addition to academics, students experience a vibrant social environment with new activities, weekend field trips, and, most importantly, a close community of peers all interested in math.

Ideal candidates include college or university professors (as well as graduate students) with strong teaching backgrounds, and middle or high school teachers with strong mathematics backgrounds. Additionally, we welcome those from industry who are interested in teaching, and can arrange part-time positions. We've found that the community of teachers that we create, bringing together instructors from across many different backgrounds, is one of the program's strengths and provides a great experience for all participants.

The program will take place in Manhattan, in an area accessible by most subway lines, with the specific location TBD.

Classes run Monday-Friday on July 11 through August 5, with additional half-day training sessions on July 8 and August 6. The salary for four weeks runs $2400-$5800 depending on course load.

Bridge to Enter Advanced Mathematics: Summer Faculty Positions

This summer, change the lives of talented 7th-grade students from underserved backgrounds: teach them what mathematics really is.

Bridge to Enter Advanced Mathematics (BEAM), a project of the Art of Problem Solving Foundation, is seeking instructors for a program that gives everyone a chance to excel in mathematics. Faculty design and teach their own courses to bright, underserved middle school students. Courses can be:
Pure math such as number theory, combinatorics, graph theory, or logic;
Applied math such as circuit design, programming, astrophysics, or genetics; or
Problem solving, either Math Team Strategies or Solving Big Problems.
Our students have tremendous potential and a strong ability for abstract reasoning, but because of their schools and backgrounds they often have not had the same training as more affluent peers. They are devoted, doing seven hours of math per day (and loving it).

Ideal candidates include college or university professors (as well as graduate students) with strong teaching backgrounds, and middle or high school teachers with strong mathematics backgrounds. We've found that the community of teachers that we create, bringing together instructors from across many different academic areas, is one of the program's strengths and provides a great experience for all participants.

Good candidates will work well on a close-knit team and will be able to bring unique curriculum perspectives to the program. Experience with other extracurricular outreach programs (such as math summer programs or math circles, MATHCOUNTS, Bootstrap, or similar) are also a plus. We will provide mentorship, textbooks, and other resources as needed.

The program will take place at two sites, Bard College and a second site TBD, both located about 2-3 hours outside New York City. Our students, all from high-poverty New York City public schools, will be discovering a new environment in these idyllic settings.

All instructors must be available July 6 through August 3 and must be available to prepare their classes prior to the program. The salary is $5000 for faculty, and $3300 for junior faculty who are graduate students or early-career teachers. In addition, food, housing, and transportation are all provided.

For more information and the application, contact us at info@beammath.org or visit our website at www.beammath.org.
I know the founder of BEAM, Dan Zaharopol, from Mathcamp. Feel free to PM me if you want more info.
