About the position:

We are looking for an instructor to teach undergraduate and graduate mathematics courses for engineering students. Depending on the applicant's experience, a title of Assistant, Associate or Full Teaching Professor is offered.

Responsibilities:

Teaching responsibilities include delivering up to 6 classes per academic year, each requiring 3 to 4 academic hours of lectures and 2 hours of office hours per week based on a term length of 15 weeks. The instructor will select and supervise student Teaching Assistants who will help with grading, conduct recitation classes and perform other administrative duties. Apart from teaching, the instructor is expected to participate in other institutional activities, including curriculum development, committee service, course evaluations etc. While the position does not entail any research responsibilities, such collaboration with engineering, physics, and mathematics faculty will be encouraged if desired.

A successful applicant will be passionate about teaching, willing to stay in Shanghai for a period of at least several years and will consider a long-term commitment to teaching at SJTU.
