Working under the supervision of the chairs of the departments or programs in which they teach, Teaching Fellows are the instructors of record for their courses and assume independent responsibility for these classes. They may also participate in college faculty orientations. Teaching Fellows may lead courses within their own disciplines or in related, interdisciplinary subjects. They may also teach courses that are intended to develop research skills and other proficiencies, such as mathematics and statistical methods.

Please see the Provost’s Office’s Teaching Fellowship webpage for information about the specific teaching positions that are available and other useful information.
