New York County New York, United States Columbia University Full time
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. 

Sessions:

Summer A: June 24th - July 12th (Classes do not meet on July 4th)

Class Times: 

9:10-11am & 1:10-3pm EST

Course description:

This course is designed for students interested in the science of the brain, including its evolutionary origins, early development, and role in generating behavior. We explore theories of the brain as the seat of the self from ancient Greece to modern times, and investigate systems that make up the brain from the individual neuron to the entire central nervous system. We also look into how sensation, perception, and decision making work at the physiological level. The course blends historical trends in neuroscience with modern experiments and findings, and touches on major areas of research including animal studies, recording and imaging techniques, computational neuroscience, and neuropharmacology.

In-class small-group exercises, in addition to lectures, allow students to tangibly explore the ideas presented in class. Participants construct various models of the brain, critique professional neuroscientific papers as “peer-reviewers,” and visualize actual neural data with instructor guidance.

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
