Excelsior University is building a pool of part-time general education mathematics faculty to support its hybrid undergraduate programs in nursing and technology.
Courses are delivered in an asynchronous online format with in-person components held at our St. Petersburg, FL site.

- Statistics
- Discrete Structures
- Precalculus
- Trigonometry
- Calculus I & II
The ability to teach more than one of these classes is preferred. In-person sessions are typically 3 hours in length, scheduled evenings and weekends to accommodate working adult learners.
Key Responsibilities:
- Facilitate in-person and hybrid sessions aligned with course outcomes using a pre-built syllabus and curriculum.
- Reinforce online learning through demonstrations, discussions, activities, and coaching.
- Provide timely, constructive feedback on performance and support student learning.
- Collaborate with faculty and site staff to ensure seamless integration between online and in-person learning.
Required Qualifications:
- A master’s degree (or higher) in mathematics, math education, or a closely related field. Or a master’s degree (or higher) in another field with at least 18 graduate credit hours in mathematics.
- College-level teaching experience, especially with adult and nontraditional learners.
- Demonstrated ability to facilitate asynchronous online learning (video announcements, discussions, grading with feedback) and in-person class sessions.
- A student-centered teaching approach.
- A commitment to supporting the success of all students, including those under-served by traditional higher education.
