For the position(s), normal duties consist of teaching the equivalent of 25 credits per year of entry-level classes and rendering service to the department and university. Limited evening work is expected, which primarily includes proctoring during the uniform examinations. The position may grow into having some leadership responsibilities, most likely related to course coordination. Some work writing reports, leading training sessions for new TAs and tutors, and observing new instructors is also expected. It is also possible that a candidate may be asked to teach courses for future elementary teachers. The University of Oklahoma (OU) is a Carnegie-RU/VH public research university known for excellence in teaching, research, and community engagement.
