Cal Poly Humboldt and the Department of School of Education invite applicants for a full-time, academic year, tenure-track faculty position with expertise in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) Education. Of particular interest are candidates with K-12 teaching expertise in mathematics and/or the physical sciences with a research focus incorporating social justice frameworks including Indigenous, feminist, and other critical approaches to STEM Education.

Founded as a teacher’s college in 1913, Cal Poly Humboldt continues its commitment to fostering the educators of tomorrow. Experience teaching in local TK-12 schools is a hallmark of our undergraduate, graduate, and credential programs, which are led by faculty who are dedicated to teaching and mentoring students.

Candidates should be committed to teaching excellence and to building a strong research record. Instructional assignments may include courses in a variety of programs, including both graduate, credential, and undergraduate level coursework related to STEM Education and other departmental needs. Instructional assignments will be consistent with the programmatic needs of the department and students.

The primary professional responsibilities of instructional faculty members are: teaching, research, scholarship, creative activity, and service to the University, profession and to the community. These responsibilities include: advising students, participation in campus and system-wide communities, maintaining office hours, working collaboratively and productively with colleagues, and participation in traditional academic functions. Probationary faculty are typically provided ongoing mentorship to be a successful member of the faculty.

During the first two years of the probationary period, teaching responsibilities will be reduced by approximately one course each semester. The reduced teaching load supports the establishment of research, scholarship and/or creative activities required for retention, tenure, and promotion.

Cal Poly Humboldt also continues to build unique and innovative learning opportunities for students, bridging multiple disciplines across the spectrum. Cal Poly Humboldt is a leader in “learning communities” that build relationships between students, faculty, staff, administrators, and the community. These communities incorporate environmental and social responsibility.
