Job Description

Boston University's Metropolitan College is seeking applicants for part-time teaching positions in Actuarial Science. Candidates with strong backgrounds in other related quantitative areas are also encouraged to apply.

Metropolitan College, one of the degree granting schools and colleges of Boston University, is a leader in providing graduate and undergraduate programs offered in flexible delivery formats, including face-to-face, blended, and online.

Compensation is based on the union negotiated rates for part-time lecturers for Boston University (currently $7,880 per 4-credit course for probationary faculty and $10,260 for post-probationary faculty), and is paid on per-course, per-semester basis. One to two courses may be taught per semester depending on the needs of the academic department.

Since its founding in 1839, Boston University has embraced a mission of openness and access, becoming one of the first universities in the nation to welcome all students of ability regardless of race, gender, or creed. That tradition shapes our enduring commitment to academic freedom, free inquiry, and the robust exchange of ideas.

We seek scholars who will contribute to our community of teachers and researchers through excellence in innovative scholarship, engaged teaching, and participation in the intellectual life of the University. Boston University provides an environment where faculty and students work together across disciplines, perspectives, and experiences to advance knowledge and address society's most pressing challenges.

BU conducts a background check on all final candidates for certain faculty and staff positions. The background check includes contacting the final candidate's current and previous employer(s) to ask whether, in the last seven years, there has been a substantiated finding of misconduct violating that employer's applicable sexual misconduct policies. To implement this process, the University requires a final candidate to complete and sign the form entitled "Authorization to Release Information" after execution of an offer letter.

We are an equal opportunity employer and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, age, national origin, physical or mental disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, genetic information, military service, pregnancy or pregnancy-related condition, or because of marital, parental, or veteran status. We are a VEVRAA Federal Contractor.
