Overview
Mount Marty University is pleased to accept applications for the position of Assistant Professor
of Mathematics. This is a full time, nine-month, tenure track appointment - beginning in the fall
of 2024. As there is no mathematics major, this position, which is housed in the Division of
Natural Sciences, mainly serves the math education program (secondary education), as well as
the university’s general education program, and sciences programming. Course load for this
position would range from courses concerned with elementary applications in mathematics,
college algebra, calculus, discrete, linear algebra, numerical analysis and a few others.
About the Position
The ideal candidate will have a Ph.D. in mathematics or mathematics education (18 credit hours
in graduate level mathematics is required) at the time of appointment. The ideal candidate will
also have teaching experience at the secondary and/or post-secondary level. A commitment to
undergraduate teaching and a willingness to support the mission of Mount Marty University and
a zeal for working in a mission driven environment is required. We strongly encourage those
candidates to apply who have an understanding of the dynamism required to thrive as a professor
in a private, religiously affiliated institution in our current era, as well as an understanding of the
dynamism required to help such an institution thrive. We are looking for bold, passionate, and

Mount Marty will also consider applications from those who are master’s prepared (mathematics
