     Michigan State University invites applications for a tenure track,
academic year, assistant/associate professorship of mathematics position in
the Lyman Briggs School, an undergraduate, residential, liberal arts

faculty in the Department of Mathematics, the Division of Science and
Mathematics Education, the College of Education, and the Drew Science
Enrichment Program on questions about the teaching and learning of
mathematics at the undergraduate level.  The Briggs School environment
offers additional opportunities for integrating mathematics with the other
science courses.

vitae, a representative scholarly paper, a personal teaching philosophy
statement, a list of undergraduate mathematics courses taught in the last
five years, and the names and addresses of three references, all sent in a
