Description of the Department or Unit

The Department of Mathematical Sciences consists of 30
tenured or tenure-track faculty and 30+ full- and part-time
non-tenure-track faculty. The department offers an undergraduate
degree in mathematics with concentrations in business, computation,
life sciences, physical sciences, secondary education, and
statistics; an undergraduate degree in actuarial science; an
undergraduate certificate program in sports analytics; and a
master's degree in mathematics with concentrations in college
teaching and secondary teaching. The department currently has 250
undergraduate majors and 20+ graduate students. In fall 2026, the
department moved into a newly renovated space with active learning
classrooms, updated computer labs, and flexible spaces for working
with students.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities

This is a ten-month appointment. The lecturer will be
expected to teach 30 credit hours per year, typically 12 credit
hours in each of the fall and spring semesters and six credit hours
in a summer session. Course delivery will be primarily in an
asynchronous online format, although appropriate synchronous
virtual office hours and help sessions are expected. The Lecturer
may also be asked to teach synchronous or hybrid online sections as
departmental need requires over time.

In addition to teaching, the successful candidate will be
expected to actively engage in department service
by:

• Delivering high-quality online instruction consistent with App

State's
Teaching Quality Framework, attending to the
learning environment, course design and implementation, and a
reflective stance toward discipline and pedagogy.

• Engaging in curriculum and pedagogical development for online

courses, particularly in support of Business Calculus and the
broader Flight Path program, including ongoing course design,
assessment, and continuous improvement of the online learning
experience.

• Contributing to the ongoing assessment and continuous

improvement of online course delivery.

• Participating in departmental service and committee work as

assigned in consultation with the chair, with particular attention
to service that supports online and Flight Path initiatives.

Interested candidates should submit a cover letter,
curriculum vitae, a personal statement of teaching philosophy for
online/digital instruction, and the names and contact information
for three references who can speak to teaching
effectiveness.
