The African Institute for Mathematical Sciences (AIMS) centres are unique
postgraduate educational centres recruiting students from the whole of Africa
and preparing them for careers in the quantitative sciences. The current
network has centres in South Africa (since 2003), Senegal (since 2011), Ghana
(since 2012), Cameroon (October 2013) and Rwanda (2016, and 2023 – Research
and Innovation Centre).
The AIMS programme is a 10-month course, intended to prepare African graduates
with mathematically-based degrees for postgraduate study and employment. To
achieve this, AIMS Cameroon (located in Limbe, Cameroon) is seeking
enthusiastic individuals with backgrounds in mathematical sciences (including
pure and applied mathematics, statistics and data science, physics, computer
science, mathematical biology and other fields) who would like to volunteer as
tutor (teaching assistant), from September 2024 to June 2025. The call is open
to PhD students, holding or approaching completion of a PhD is an advantage.
The minimum requirement is an M.Sc at distinction level.
Applicants should demonstrate experience in teaching university mathematics or
related subjects, including grading and providing constructive feedback, good
communication and social skills, as well as administrative and time management
competence.
Tutoring at an AIMS centre is a great opportunity to meet and work closely
with prestigious scientists from around the world. Indeed, outstanding
lecturers are recruited from all over the world to teach a one-year Master’s
degree in mathematical sciences, preparing students for advanced postgraduate
research. The course is unusually broad in scope and employs the latest
pedagogical methods in order to stimulate critical and creative thinking. This
is a unique opportunity for tutors to gain significant experience in teaching
in higher education given that there is currently no school preparing teachers
for higher education worldwide.
Travel, visa, accommodation expenses and meals will be covered by AIMS
Cameroon. The tutor will additionally receive a monthly stipend.
To submit an application, candidates should email their CV with at least two
references, a statement letter of no more than 500 words to the AIMS-Cameroon
academic team at
academia-ml@aims-cameroon.org. In the letter, the applicant should state the period of their availability
and provide evidence of what makes them an ideal candidate by drawing from
their experience and qualifications.
