Faculty - Math Instructors

Hawkeye Community College is seeking two full‑time, 9‑month faculty members to provide high‑quality instruction at the college’s main campus in a variety of math classes.

Teaching at a community college is a unique and rewarding challenge. You’re often working with a wide array of students—from high schoolers taking concurrent enrollment courses to adult learners returning for a career pivot. In this role, you will do more than deliver lectures; you will be a mentor and facilitator of mathematical literacy.

At Hawkeye Community College, we understand that great instructors make all the difference. We believe students learn best from those who have real‑world experience and firsthand knowledge of what it takes to excel in the field. Employers today seek versatile, skilled individuals who can adapt to the evolving demands of the workforce. Our programs are designed to help students build a solid foundation of technical skills and professional competencies needed for success in a dynamic industry.

With the guidance of experienced faculty who bring both academic expertise and industry insights, students are well‑prepared to meet and exceed these expectations.

We are looking for dedicated, student‑orientated, enthusiastic and knowledgeable educators who bring both passion for teaching and a strong foundation in Math to students across a variety of programs at our main campus. While a range of courses and modalities (face‑to‑face, distance learning) may be assigned, potential areas of teaching could be developmental math courses, Applied Math, Algebra, Math for Liberal Arts, Statistics, Trigonometry, Calculus, Electronics Math, and Technical Math.

A typical full‑time teaching load is 15 credit hours per semester (Fall and Spring), with additional opportunities to teach during the summer if desired.

Our role offers the opportunity to make a meaningful impact by delivering dynamic instruction. We are interested in finding a knowledgeable, positive professional role model to inspire our students and work with a strong faculty team. The college provides a two‑year faculty induction & mentoring program to support our newest faculty members to assist them with success.
