Position:

Trinity Christian College invites applications for a full-time tenure-track faculty position in Mathematics, beginning August 2025.

Qualifications:

Master’s degree in mathematics required, Ph.D. preferred. Experience in college-level teaching and scholarship is desired.

Trinity seeks faculty candidates who are professing Christians and are committed to excellence in teaching, scholarship, and service. Successful candidates will possess the ability to articulate the relationship between their academic discipline, the vocational preparation of their students, and a vision for human flourishing that emerges from the Christian faith. Successful candidates are also dedicated to personal involvement with students outside of the classroom through advising, social interaction, and informal academic and cultural settings, as well as with professionals who can complement the Trinity experience. Trinity particularly welcomes applications from candidates who have professional or personal narratives that reflect diverse perspectives, as well as those who have engagement with issues relevant for preparing students to work and live with intercultural competence and compassion.

Responsibilities:

This is a 9-month tenure-track faculty role. Primary responsibilities include teaching mathematics courses that serve the department and college needs and align with the area of expertise of the successful candidate. Desirable areas of expertise include mathematics education, applied mathematics, or statistics, though generalists are also encouraged to apply. Secondary responsibilities include some administrative work, including scheduling and securing and working with adjunct faculty members for mathematics courses.

All faculty participate at Trinity in faculty governance and are expected to pursue a healthy scholarly and research agenda. In their first year, new faculty participate in a year-long formation program that begins with a three-day institute in August.

Salary Range:

For Assistant Professor, the range is $50,500 to $66,500, based on degree, experience, and qualifications. A higher rank will also mean additional compensation.

Timeline:

The committee will begin reviewing applications April 1, 2025 and continue until the position is filled.  The desirable start date is August 15, 2025, with new faculty orientation preceding that date.
