The preceptor group

Preceptors at the Mathematics department are teaching, developing and supporting sections of calculus related courses. The activities of the preceptor group include also teacher training, hiring and training course assistants, websupport, microteaching, sectioning and advising, the question center, the teacher seminar. Most preceptors teach also Mathematics in the Harvard extension school or its Masters program as well as in the Harvard summer school.

The Preceptor positions at Harvard

We seek mathematicians to work at the rank of Preceptor alongside other Harvard faculty on teaching, developing, and supporting sections of entry level courses through multivariable calculus and linear algebra. Applicants must have a strong background in advanced mathematics, preferably including a Ph.D., as well as sophistication about undergraduate teaching, learning, and curricular issues generally.

Candidates should present evidence of outstanding classroom success, together with teacher-training, assessment, and organizational skills. Responsibility, initiative, good judgment, and the ability to work well on a team are required. This position entails both significant administrative responsibilities, such as developing and participating in pedagogical mentoring and research programs, as well as significant career development opportunities for mathematicians following less traditional career paths.

There are currently no open preceptor positions.
