About Project NExT
Project NExT (New Experiences in Teaching) is a professional development program for new or recent Ph.D.s in the mathematical sciences. It addresses all aspects of an academic career: improving the teaching and learning of mathematics, engaging in research and scholarship, and participating in professional activities. It also provides the participants with a network of peers and mentors as they assume these responsibilities. To date, 1324 Fellows have participated in Project NExT.

The Project NExT Leadership Team/Contacting Project NExT

The MAA is searching for three members of the Project NExT leadership team, two associate directors to serve for a four-year renewable term and one two-year (nonrenewable term) team member. These positions will start at the end of Mathfest in 2012. We expect that two or three positions on the leadship team will be filled every two years thereafter. This notice [updated Nov 15, 2011] is the position description from the MAA that appears in Focus. Information about the Project NExT team's vision of these positions is available here.
