Assistant Director for Mathematics

You understand what actors mean when they say, "I love acting, but what I really want to do is direct!" That's because you love teaching, but what you really want to do is run your own learning center. You're ready to do a bit of everything - teach math classes, hire and train teachers, work with parents to ensure their children's success, and whatever else comes your way.

Ideal Candidate Qualities

You're a people person and enjoy interacting with both adults and children. You're also a mathy person with some teaching experience. Maybe you're a math teacher in middle school or high school. Or a math professor who has decided that the teaching aspect of academia is far more attractive than research. You have a degree in a STEM-related field, some experience dealing with parents, and enough experience running something that you understand what being in charge means. You also understand that this is a position where working hours include evenings and weekends.

How to Apply

To apply, send a cover letter and a resume to jobs@aopsacademy.org and tell us why you would be a good fit for this position. Please also include a sample of your writing, such as an essay, article, or another piece of writing geared towards a non-technical audience. This is a full-time position.
