The North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics (NCSSM) invites applications for a full-time Instructor of American Studies position at its campus in Durham, North Carolina. The position is a 10-month, permanent-track appointment with full benefits through the State of North Carolina.
NCSSM and its Academic Programs division foster an environment of collaboration across departments and divisions and support community-engaged service and research. NCSSM values the diversity in our student body, and all members of the NCSSM community are expected to foster a safe environment of respect and inclusion for all faculty, staff, and students. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, national origin, religion, sex, gender identity or expression, age, sexual orientation, genetic information, status as an individual with a disability, or status as a protected veteran or national guard.

Description of Duties:
Founded in 1980, the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics is a state-supported residential and online high school for students who have demonstrated exceptional talent or interest in science, mathematics, engineering, and technology. Since the school’s inception, the humanities and fine arts have been an integral part of an NCSSM education and have played a key role in helping the institution fulfill its mission to cultivate a new generation of informed, empathetic, engaged, and ethical citizens and leaders.
The position reports to the Chair of Humanities, NCSSM-Durham, and is responsible for providing instruction in American Studies, a two-course sequence required of all NCSSM juniors. It is the core shared humanities experience for all incoming students—a course in which students not only gain a sense of the chronology of American history, literature, and culture but also dive deeply into selected primary and secondary texts, topics, and issues in American culture. Students earn double credit for this course: a credit in English and a credit in History/Social Science for each semester’s study. All sections of this multi-section course focus on the study of primary sources in their historical and cultural contexts: historical documents, literary texts, and other cultural artifacts that highlight multiple voices and experiences.
The expected teaching assignment for the position is three course sections of American Studies each semester. The new instructor will co-teach the course with a colleague with complementary expertise for at least two years, with opportunities to extend that collaboration. Co-teaching involves collaboration to develop an integrated syllabus in light of the American Studies program’s shared learning outcomes and course guidelines, and daily collaboration to teach the course and assess students’ learning.
During the second year at NCSSM, the instructor may have the opportunity to teach one of NCSSM’s senior-level interdisciplinary humanities electives—courses that emphasize critical reading, critical thinking, and academic writing.
NCSSM Humanities also includes a strong fine arts program that offers courses and extracurricular opportunities in the visual arts, music, and drama. NCSSM Humanities also offers student- and faculty-led seminars and independent studies.
Humanities faculty are responsible for developing and teaching innovative and engaging humanities curricula, with a focus on interdisciplinary studies, in NCSSM’s residential and highly interactive online programs. Faculty should plan on playing an enthusiastic role with colleagues across all campuses of the school in ongoing conversations and collaborations about ideas, goals, pedagogical methods, and authentic assessments in NCSSM’s teaching and learning environment.
Other responsibilities include:
• Develop and communicate to students clear course objectives and goals;
• Plan and develop an instructional program that helps students assimilate specific course content and skills;
• Hold office hours and tutorial sessions as outlined by the Department of Humanities;
• Regularly monitor and evaluate students’ progress, providing them with resources and feedback on their performance;
• Structure and manage an environment conducive to learning;
• Model for students responsibility to self and others;
• Follow the school’s philosophy, policies, and procedures;
• Participate in departmental, faculty, and staff meetings;
• Serve on departmental, faculty, and school-wide standing committees;
• Write recommendations for as many as 15 students each year, as requested;
• Serve as a January-Term sponsor;
• Participate in professional development and personal intellectual growth activities;
• Participate in one or more of the following activities:
• Provide professional service and engagement in the field;
• Assist students with special projects, independent and individual study, and seminar-based studies;
• Participate in the NCSSM admissions process by recruiting, selecting, and advising prospective students;
• Participate in NCSSM alumni activities;
• Provide assistance for school-sponsored programs and extracurricular activities.
Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities:
Applicants for this position should have a wide-ranging knowledge of American history and its cultural and social contexts, a passion for teaching and learning, and a love of ideas, combined with a commitment to serving as mentor and guide for students — both in the classroom and in extracurricular activities. Since NCSSM is committed to an interdisciplinary approach to the study of the humanities, knowledge of American literature, art, and other disciplines within the humanities is also desirable. Applicants should be able and willing to use appropriate educational technology to engage students in learning, in both face-to-face and remote settings. Applicants should be dedicated to continual growth, both as teachers and learners. Since all NCSSM faculty and staff are expected to support the intellectual, cultural, emotional, and social growth of students — responsibilities that transcend a traditional high school or college teaching schedule — applicants should bring to the work a commitment to participating actively in the multi-dimensional life of the NCSSM community.
Minimum Education and Experience:
Master’s Degree in American history, social studies, or a related field in the humanities or social sciences, with a proven record of effective and inspiring teaching with advanced high school or undergraduate students. Successful candidates will have the content knowledge to co-teach American Studies, the core Humanities experience for all NCSSM juniors, and the willingness and ability to work cooperatively and effectively with colleagues to develop and follow shared practices for this multi-section course. Successful candidates will also have the expertise and experience to develop and teach high-interest interdisciplinary humanities courses for NCSSM’s senior students.
Desired:
Experience and/or interest in co-teaching and a willingness to work closely with colleagues as part of ongoing collaborations to review, assess, and update NCSSM’s American Studies and Humanities programs.
Experience in teaching writing as a tool and extension of thought, a means by which students integrate and articulate what they have learned. Willingness to teach in both NCSSM’s residential and online programs, with experience in using appropriate educational technology to engage students in face-to-face and remote settings.
Excellent organizational and collaboration skills. Experience and expertise in individualizing instruction to accommodate the range of students’ experiences and expertise.
The ideal candidate will be eager to participate fully in the wide variety of academic and cultural endeavors our school values, offers, and promotes. An exciting feature of NCSSM’s academic calendar is “January-Term,” consisting of two two-week sessions when faculty members lead intensive learning experiences both on and off campus. The ideal candidate will have the interest and ability to develop and lead these sessions on specialized topics that will appeal to NCSSM students. We also offer opportunities for students to travel domestically and abroad during this period; as such, experience in leading student travel groups and/or the willingness to do so is a definite plus.
NCSSM is ranked as the #2 Best Public High School in the U.S
