Job Description

Columbia University’s Pre-College Programs for High School Students is seeking qualified candidates to develop and teach on-campus (i.e., in person) courses during Summer ’24.


Please Note: Course(s) and course availability is subject to change. Dates and class times are tentative and subject to change.

  • Summer A: June 24th - July 12th [no class on July 4th]
  • Summer B: July 16th - August 2nd


Class Times:

  • 9:10am-11:00am & 1:10-3:00pm EST


Course description:

The field of biology has expanded rapidly over the past fifty years. New discoveries are happening almost every day. In this course we explore the basic elements of molecular biology, genetics, and evolution and how these sciences affect modern medicine, agriculture, and ecology.


The course begins with a full description of the structure, function, and synthesis of DNA, RNA, and proteins. Students then apply this information to a wide range of topics such as modern biological research techniques, data interpretation, genetic engineering, immunology, cancer, and virology.


The course also includes mini-units on bioethics and the biology of global warming, and we connect modern biology to fields such as anthropology, history, and economics. A variety of group activities, online labs, and videos supplement the student experience.


Please note: Approximately a third of the material covered in this course will already be familiar to students who have taken AP Biology.


Responsibilities:

  • Develop course content, syllabus, lesson plans, and assigned work
  • Lead and attend all in-person class sessions
  • Establish and maintain a dynamic in-class environment tailored for our high school population
  • Evaluate student work and write a holistic evaluation of each participant after the course ends
  • Monitor and address student concerns and inquiries (you will have around 20-24 students)
  • Attend and complete all required online trainings


Qualifications

  • Graduate degree or equivalent professional or academic background
  • Expertise in the pertinent subject matter
  • Aptitude for teaching


Hiring Salary Ranges:

  • Summer A on-campus: $6,150 - $7,850
  • Summer B on-campus: $6,150 - $7,850
