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. For further information,
