Upward Bound Science Instructor

Summer Science Instruction Position: The EKU Upward Bound program is seeking a summer science instructor for the 2026 Summer Chautauqua to teach various lab sciences (including, but not limited to, chemistry, biology, physics, etc.). The Upward Bound Summer Chautauqua is a six-week, college-preparatory program housed on EKU’s campus which will take place from June 13th- July 22nd. Students will live on campus and take classes through this simulated college experience. Classes will run for 5 weeks, Monday through Friday, beginning on June 15th and ending on July 15th. Approximately 15-20 students will attend each class meeting. An instructor can expect to teach four sections and have an 8:40a-3:20p workday, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Instructors will have a 50-minute duty-free lunch each day on campus. Depending on position, these courses should introduce content that would allow students to excel in the Fall during their next academic year. Instructors are expected to design and implement a curriculum for the courses that will allow students to expand their mind, gain independence, and participate in this simulated college experience. In addition, are expected to attend a brief orientation in late May, an awards banquet for students, and an end of summer debrief meeting.
