The Education Department at the College of Saint Benedict and Saint John’s University invites applications for a full-time 3-year Visiting Assistant Professor of Math Education beginning Fall 2022. The Education Department includes 11 full-time faculty and 6 part-time faculty. We offer an Elementary Licensure program with endorsements, as well as a variety of K-12 and secondary licenses. Our programs are approved by the Minnesota Professional Educator Licensing and Standards Board. Our department focuses on the values of community, training teacher leaders, teacher education as part of the liberal arts, and training teachers to advocate for equity.

Together, the College of Saint Benedict, for women, and Saint John’s University, for men, form a one-of-a-kind partnership of two top colleges – combining the abundant opportunities of a larger university with the small class sizes and personal attention of an exceptional liberal arts college. They are located in the central lakes area of Minnesota, surrounded by more than 3,000 acres of pristine forests, prairies, and lakes. The campuses are minutes away from Saint Cloud, an increasingly diverse regional center with a population of over 100,000, and 70 miles from Minneapolis and St. Paul. Some CSB/SJU faculty and staff choose to reside locally, while others commute from the Twin Cities. Both St. Cloud and the Twin Cities offer a wide range of fine arts, cultural, dining, recreational, and sporting opportunities.
 
 CSB/SJU are Catholic colleges in the Benedictine tradition enlivened by values of community, hospitality, stewardship, and justice. The schools are dedicated to cultivating an equitable, inclusive community founded on respect for all persons. Students, staff and faculty from many diverse belief systems and backgrounds collectively bring a rich dimension to the academic, cultural, and religious experience at CSB/SJU. We welcome faculty who devote themselves with passion and integrity to their disciplines and to a transformative education of their students.   
 
 With a total enrollment of approximately 3,000 students, faculty members develop relationships with students in small classroom settings and have opportunities to work closely with students on research projects, experiential learning experiences, and study abroad programs. Recent initiatives to create a dynamic general education curriculum and to develop plans for a new teaching and learning center demonstrate strong institutional support for faculty development.
