NC State is hiring Postdoctoral Teaching Scholars to support their new Data Science Academy. The Academy will be established in July 2021 to serve as a focal point to integrate educational, research, and engagement efforts in data science across NC State and its partners and affiliates. The Postdoctoral Teaching Scholar will be expected to develop and teach four courses per year for the Data Science Academy. These courses will range from full-semester introductory courses for undergraduate and graduate students to special topics courses at the senior undergraduate/early graduate level. Courses may be offered in a variety of formats including traditional semester, summer, Maymester, and 8-week offerings. The Teaching Scholar will be guided by a faculty mentor in their discipline. The Teaching Scholar will meet frequently with their mentor to discuss best practices in teaching, grant writing, manuscript preparation, and student mentoring. They will participate in undergraduate (and optionally, graduate) mentoring and pursue their own research agenda. They will participate annually in the NC State Postdoctoral Research Symposium where they will present a poster on their work. The Teaching Scholar will be evaluated on a regular basis regarding their teaching and mentoring of students. If interested, please apply at https://jobs.ncsu.edu/postings/138809. Contact Dr. Alyson Wilson, Department of Statistics at NC State, with any questions.
