Job Description

Columbia University’s Pre-College Programs for High School Students is seeking qualified candidates to develop and teach online 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. 

Session:

Summer A: July 1st - July 12th

Class Times: 

5pm-8pm EST 

Course description:

The origin and evolution of the Universe is one of the greatest (and oldest) questions ever asked. In a little over a century, cosmology has matured as a discipline due to improvements in our understanding of fundamental physics and technological advances allowing us to map the Universe in unprecedented detail and perform complex calculations.

This course is an introductory review of the field of cosmology for students with a background in physics and math, but not necessarily astronomy.  The course focuses on the field of cosmology, its early history, and its relationships to observational astronomy and particle physics.  We will discuss the observations that led scientists to believe that the Universe is expanding, explanations for the expansion, the origin of the Universe and the evolution of its constituent materials, including dark matter and dark energy.  We will also discuss general relativity and its implications for the structure of the Universe, its history, and predictions regarding astrophysical phenomena such as black holes.  In-class discussions and activities based on primary source research papers will complement in-class problem solving and supplemental readings.

Responsibilities:

Develop course content, syllabus, lesson plans, and assigned work

Lead and attend all 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
