Lead Computer Science Instructor, Academy of Math and Programming (AMP)

About the Position
We are hiring an enthusiastic Lead Computer Science Instructor for our Academy of Math and Programming (AMP) in New York City. This is a temporary, six-week-long summer role, which includes one week of training before the program begins. Dates of the program are still being determined, but will likely take place from early July through early August. 

AMP is a program for recent high school graduates of diverse backgrounds who have experienced barriers to access and opportunity within advanced STEM education. It offers students a rigorous and rewarding curriculum that focuses on topics near and dear to Jane Street, including probability, combinatorics, number theory, computer programming, algorithm design, game theory, and trading.

You’ll work alongside an excellent group of instructors and teaching assistants to administer challenging and interactive courses and activities — including classes, problem-solving, and game playing — and supervise students as they spend their summer learning.
 
Your role in particular will be responsible for coordinating the computer science curriculum and managing the teaching staff. There will be responsibilities before and after the program for which support is needed. 

Jane Street deeply values the quality of our educational programming, and we compensate our high-caliber instructors accordingly. Travel, housing, and meals will be provided.
