Summer job as logic instructor or TA at the Center for Talented Youth, Lancaster PA, Baltimore MD, Los Angeles CA (U.S.A.), 20 Jun to 3 Aug 2019

*Summer 2019 Employment Opportunity*
*Mathematical Logic*
*Instructors and Teaching Assistants*

The Johns Hopkins University Center for Talented Youth (CTY) is seeking 
applicants interested in summer employment as a *Math Logic Instructor* or 
*Teaching Assistant*. Positions are located in *Maryland, Pennsylvania, 
and California*, and room and board are provided for all staff. CTY offers 
challenging summer academic programs for middle and high school students 
from across the country and around the world.

*Why teach for CTY?*

    - share your passion for mathematics with highly motivated and talented
    students
    - be a part of an intellectual community
    - develop your teaching skills in a supportive, collegial environment
    - work alongside dedicated educators from around the world
    - limited class size (15 students), plus an instructor and assistant for
    each class, ensures a low student-teacher ratio
    - competitive salary plus room and board



*Mathematical Logic course*

In this math course, students learn about the key concepts of logic,
including validity, soundness, consistency, and satisfiability. They
develop systems of logic in formal symbolic languages, including the
propositional calculus and first-order quantified logic. These systems
allow students to test the validity of arguments and write formal proofs
with precision. Students explore the syntax and semantics of these
languages. They then engage in metalogic: reasoning logically about a
system of logic. They examine soundness, asking whether all proofs in the
system really prove their conclusion, and completeness, considering whether
every valid conclusion can actually be proven using the rules of that
system.



*Responsibilities of Instructors*

Instructors' core responsibilities are to plan and conduct their classes
within our guidelines, to monitor and evaluate the progress of each of
their students, and to supervise a teaching assistant.



*Responsibilities of TAs*

The primary responsibilities of teaching assistants are tutoring students,
assisting with the paperwork of a class, teaching the class as requested by
the instructor, supervising evening study sessions, assisting with
administrative tasks, and generally helping to ensure that the class runs
smoothly.
