What are the responsibilities and job description for the Faculty Member - STEM position at oxford academia?
Oxford Academia is seeking applicants for Faculty and Administrative positions for our summer program in New Haven, CT on the campus of Yale University, June 29-July 11. Training occurs on site from June 26-29 for teaching faculty and June 22-29 for residential life and administrative staff. This program is part of our Oxford Academia offerings for high school students and will be accommodated at Yale University.
We seek qualified faculty with teaching or professional experience related to the subject to teach hands-on seminars and lead engaging activities as outlined below. Seminars blend classroom instruction with site visits, field excursions, and meetings with local experts and organizations to provide an academic experience that does not rely on tests, grades, or one-way lectures. Each faculty typically teaches 1 major section and 1 minor section of the same subject matter. The major section meets six days a week (Monday-Saturday) for three hours from 9am-12pm. The minor section meets three times a week for two hours from 2-4pm, and does not require the preparation of different material from the Major. Major classes meet for 30 total hours over the course of the entire program. Minor classes meet for 10 hours. Faculty receive a budget for seminar expenses as well as a budget for guest speaker honorariums.
Oxford Academia pays a stipend, commensurate with education and experience, as well as all travel and lodging (as needed) during your contracted dates. In addition to teaching their seminars, Faculty are expected to lead two activities per week, plus one weekend event.
