The Georgetown U. BLA Program is searching for an instructor for MATH 1040: Probability and Statistics. The BLA Program is a Bachelor's degree program for incarcerated students facilitated by the Georgetown Prisons and Justice Initiative at Patuxent Institution in Jessup, MD. MATH 1040 introduces students to statistics and is a required course for BLA students. The instructor must hold PhD or MA in a relevant discipline (math or social science), with a preference for instructors with a doctorate. The instructor need not have an appointment at an academic institution.   

Fall classes run from September 3rd to December 9th. Each course meets twice a week for two hours per session, and they generally have teaching times available M/W or T/Th in the morning and afternoon, with some scheduling flexibility. The pay is $8,000 for the semester.

BLA students take classes in a cohort of about 20-25 students for the first years of the program, and form a tight-knit intellectual community. Anyone incarcerated in MD is able to apply to the program, and the students are incredibly dedicated and engaged.
