● a three-page statement on teaching calculus in the present day, describing practical pedagogical strategies, concrete experiences of their implementation in your calculus courses, and your commitment to equitable and inclusive teaching.
● all official summary evaluation sheets from the courses taught during the past three (3) academic years;
● at least three (3) letters of recommendation submitted directly by the recommenders, which should focus on the particulars of your teaching and mentoring experience, as well as your organizational skills.

All materials should be submitted online at www.mathjobs.org. Review of complete applications will begin on January 15, 2025. Candidates who are selected for the short list will be asked to participate in a Zoom interview in early February, and to provide a short video recording of an at-the-board calculus presentation (more detailed instructions will be issued in this regard). The finalists will be invited to campus for on-site interviews in mid-to-late February, and we expect to be able to extend an offer to a successful candidate by early March.
