-----------------------------------------------------------------

The Department of Mathematical Sciences at Carnegie Mellon University invites applications for a three-year Assistant Teaching Professor or Associate Teaching Professor position, to begin July 31, 2022. The position, which will be based at our branch campus in Doha, Qatar (CMUQ), primarily involves teaching introductory undergraduate mathematics courses to students pursuing degrees in Biological Sciences, Business Administration, Computer Science and Information Systems. 

The standard teaching load for teaching-track faculty in Mathematical Sciences at CMUQ is two courses per semester. The two course per semester load is standard at CMUQ because we do not offer Teaching Assistant support for any of the math and/or science courses offered here. 

Carnegie Mellon University in Qatar operates in concert with several other American and European branch campuses under the umbrella of the Qatar Foundation’s Education City. The branch campus closely follows the admissions requirements and English language curriculum of the home campus, which awards all degrees. The several thousand students in Education City students are a broad mix of nationalities, but primarily from the Middle East, North Africa, and South Asia. CMUQ’s faculty is a mix of professionals hired specifically to the campus and seconded faculty from the main campus. CMUQ’s primary focus is undergraduate education in Business Administration, Biological Sciences, Computer Science and Information Systems. 

Carnegie Mellon offers teaching track appointments with multi-year contracts and promotion opportunities. While applications will be accepted at the assistant and associate teaching levels, associate teaching level applicants should have made a significant and positive impact on curriculum and student development, and have a distinguished teaching record. 

The position offers competitive salaries, travel and housing allowances and other benefit packages, which may include attractive professional development support. A reasonable teaching load allows time for quality teaching, scholarly work and close involvement with students, faculty and the local educational community. 

Our Commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion 

Carnegie Mellon University is an equal opportunity employer and is committed to increasing the diversity of its community on a range of intellectual, cultural and social dimensions. Carnegie Mellon welcomes faculty applicants who will contribute to this diversity through their research, teaching, and service, including women, members of minority groups, protected veterans, individuals with disabilities, and others who would contribute in different ways. 

Qualifications 

The successful candidate will have a Ph.D. in Mathematics or a closely related discipline and demonstrate a potential for excellence in classroom teaching. Preference will be given to candidates with sustained demonstrated excellence in teaching who have the potential to contribute to educational initiatives in the mathematical sciences group and across the University.
