Mathematics Instructor - Tenure Track

Position Information

The Department of Mathematics and Statistics at Yuba College offers a wide variety of mathematics and statistics courses, ranging from developmental and remedial levels to the first two years of college or university. The courses support the development of basic skills in mathematics, as well as support a variety of certificate programs and associate degrees. They also prepare students to transfer to a college or university to major in mathematics, engineering, the physical or life sciences, business, liberal studies, and a host of other majors.

The Department seeks a strong, well‑rounded mathematician who has demonstrated experience or potential to excel as an instructor at a community college and who can provide leadership or contribute positively in areas such as keeping course offerings up‑to‑date and relevant; developing the mathematics and statistics curricula with a vision for the future; staying abreast of current trends in college mathematics and statistics reforms;

articulating with area high schools; maintaining relations with area colleges and universities; and organizing or helping with student mathematics activities (e.g., AMATYC, SML, student mathematics clubs). The successful candidate would join a small department of currently six active full‑time faculty members who support each other in their assignments and efforts for improving curriculum and student success. The candidate may expect to teach a transfer‑level course straightaway.

• Organize and teach all levels of mathematics classes from basic mathematics through differential equations and linear algebra, and statistics.
• Develop and maintain relevant community college mathematics and statistics curricula, including appropriate transfer/articulation agreements with four‑year colleges and universities.
• Use appropriate teaching methods to facilitate student learning.
• Teach day, evening, and/or weekend teaching assignments, which may include distributive education (e.g., interactive television, online) and non‑traditionally‑paced courses.
• Participate in department, division, and college‑wide initiatives and committees.
• Interact with area high schools.
• Organize or help with student mathematics activities.
• Be committed to, and participate in, the shared‑governance process.
• Demonstrate sensitivity to and understanding of the diverse academic, socioeconomic, cultural, disability and ethnic backgrounds of community college students.

• Master’s Degree in mathematics or applied mathematics; or
• Bachelor’s in any of the above and Master’s in statistics, physics, or mathematics education (if the Master’s degree is in Mathematics Education it must have been conferred from a mathematics department at the time that the degree was obtained); or
• Equivalent qualification; or
• Possess a California Community College life credential in mathematics.

• Successfully completed at least six semester‑units of upper‑division undergraduate or graduate coursework in either statistics or probability, or be prepared to complete the necessary coursework within the first two years of employment.
• Experience successfully teaching, or prepared through other employment or student experiences, the full range of remedial and college‑level mathematics and statistics courses.
• Experience teaching mathematics and statistics using a distributive education modality (e.g., interactive television, online).
• Experience integrating technology in courses, especially in calculus and above (e.g., Maple, Matlab, Sage) and in statistics (e.g., Minitab, R).
• Active participation in the mathematics community or in mathematics professional development (e.g., professional organizations, conferences, meetings, workshops).
• Experience articulating with high schools.
• Experience organizing student mathematics activities.
