New River Community College
Overview
Position Description: We have a tenure-track Assistant Professor position in Mathematics beginning July 1, 2026. The Department seeks an exceptional and creative teacher with an established and active research program. All fields of mathematics will be considered, but preference will be given to candidates with broad expertise and sustained interest in areas that complement current research directions in the department, are suitable for undergraduate research experiences, and can support the emerging computational and engineering initiatives of the college. Qualifications
Candidates must have a Ph.D. in Mathematics or Applied Mathematics, and should have completed at least one year of either a full-time teaching position in mathematics or a research-oriented postdoctoral position in mathematics with a significant teaching component. Established familiarity with the US undergraduate mathematics education system is essential. Applicants must be able to demonstrate a strong research trajectory, a record of teaching excellence, and a commitment to mentoring undergraduates in a liberal arts setting. Responsibilities and Benefits
The teaching responsibility is alternating 5 (3-2) and 4 (2-2) courses per year, with a research sabbatical leave prior to tenure review of a full year at 80% salary or of one semester at full salary. To facilitate the transition, new full-time tenure-track Assistant Professors receive start-up funding to support their research and professional development and often have a one-course reduction in their first year of teaching (i.e. 2-2). To apply, please provide all of the following materials. Application Materials
Cover letter, which addresses your specific reasons for seeking a position at Colby, which is an undergraduate liberal arts institution CV Two-page statement on teaching, describing practical pedagogical strategies and concrete experiences of their implementation in introductory courses Official summary evaluation sheets from all of the courses taught during the past three academic years Concise statement specifically aimed at Colby mathematicians outlining your research program A sample of current scholarship At least four letters of recommendation submitted directly by the recommenders, at least two of which should focus on teaching and mentoring experience, and at least two on research activities All materials should be submitted online at www.mathjobs.org. Review of complete applications will begin on October 20, 2025. Some late applications may be considered in extraordinary circumstances.
