Choate Rosemary Hall seeks a teaching fellow in biology with a start date of August 2021. Candidates must have completed extensive course work in biology and lab-based classes in biology.

The Choate Fellowship program is an immersion program, and Fellows are expected to teach two or three classes, have residential life commitments, and contribute to the extracurricular life of the school.

Choate's Teaching Fellowship program provides recent college graduates who are interested in pursuing teaching as a possible career with practical experience in all elements of working at a boarding school. Teaching fellows are assigned a mentor to guide them through their first year of teaching and advising. Regular visits to the mentor's classes, and by the mentor to the fellow's classes, are expected. Mentors and fellows engage in conversation regularly regarding lesson plans, teaching methods, grading, and all other aspects of teaching. In addition, all new Choate faculty partake in a yearlong series of meetings with the Director of Faculty Development that allow for substantive discussions about teaching and advising within the boarding school setting.

Our faculty is deeply committed to the entire student experience; it is expected that faculty responsibilities will include a combination of student advising, residential life, and extracurricular activities. Applicants must be dynamic individuals who are passionate about their discipline, collaborative and innovative in their approach to teaching, and who embrace and support the diversity of our student body through their curriculum and pedagogy.

Choate is committed to a diverse faculty, staff, and student body. Candidates from underrepresented groups are encouraged to apply.
