Working/Functional Title

Teaching Position in Statistics & Mathematics

Position Summary

Michigan State University (MSU) and MSU's Lyman Briggs College (LBC) actively promote a dynamic working and learning environment in which qualified individuals of differing perspectives and cultural backgrounds pursue academic goals with mutual respect and shared inquiry.

LBC invites applications for a teaching-focused faculty position to join the college's math and statistics faculty starting August of 2027. The successful candidate will primarily teach introductory undergraduate statistics courses for scientists, with opportunities to teach college algebra, pre-calculus, calculus (1--3), and interdisciplinary, writing-intensive senior seminar courses.

Candidates must be committed to undergraduate teaching and must have a master's degree (minimum) or Ph.D. (desired) in statistics, statistics education, mathematics, or mathematics education by August 15, 2027. This position requires expertise in and enthusiasm for teaching undergraduate statistics and mathematics courses, especially non-majors statistics, college algebra and precalculus. The successful candidate will be committed to advancing excellence in the teaching of introductory courses in statistics and mathematics and will join the college's ongoing efforts to improve undergraduate STEM education. Using scholarly and inclusive approaches to teaching students and mentoring student employees is essential.

This position offers exciting opportunities for individuals interested in teaching in a liberal-arts style residential college with all of the resources of a large "BigTen" research university. Founded in 1967, Lyman Briggs College (LBC) is an interdisciplinary undergraduate residential college within MSU that aims to transform what it means to be a scientist (read more about LBC's Mission and Vision). There are approximately 2,000 students in LBC, engaging in a curriculum that integrates the natural sciences and mathematics with the human, social, and global dimensions of the sciences. The LBC students are diverse, with 66% identifying as women and 31% identifying as students of an underrepresented racial/ethnic group. Additionally, 32% of LBC students are members of the MSU Honors College and 12% are first generation students. Faculty work closely with students in small classes, and the college is known as a place for interdisciplinary scholarship, teaching and learning, and engagement. The college boasts a dynamic community of students, staff, and faculty who make LBC an exceptional place to learn and work.

The successful candidate will be an Academic Specialist in the Continuing Appointment System. Academic Specialists are long-term, teaching-focused faculty who are outstanding instructors in the classroom, support curriculum improvement, and who support and mentor undergraduates. Academic Specialists also contribute professional service to the college and university, including membership on academic governance committees, and have full voting rights in the college. Academic Specialists in the Continuing Appointment System are supported in their professional development and follow a career progression (i.e., reappointment, reappointment with Continuing Status, promotion to Senior Academic Specialist). The successful candidate will start with a three-year probationary appointment that has the potential, after successful reappointment, to become a long-term position in the Academic Specialist Continuing Appointment System (for details, review the MSU Academic Specialist Handbook and its Initial, Continuing, and Probationary Appointments section in particular). Reappointment and continuing appointment decisions are based on performance reviews that include peer and student teaching evaluations.

The successful candidate will teach five or six courses each academic year. The LBC Math Group offers
