Chemistry Teaching Opportunities!

Chemistry Teaching Jobs

Southern Teachers Agency has quite a few chemistry and physical science job listings from schools for the 2013-14 academic year.  These jobs range from physical science at the middle-school level through high school AP Chemistry.  It is common for science teachers to teach more than one kind of science, so some of these positions will require a chemistry teacher to lead sections of biology, physics, or another science. Please consider forwarding this information to students you know who are interested in teaching.

STA is the oldest teacher-placement service in America.  We receive job listings from hundreds of PK-12 private schools around the South.  Schools come to STA because they recognize the value of STA’s help in recruiting & screening talented candidates. 

Certification is not required by private schools for many science teaching jobs.
 

Click here to view current science teaching jobs

Requirements:

For most of these chemistry teaching jobs, a bachelor’s degree with a major in chemistry (or at the very least a chemistry minor) is essential, but teacher certification is not.  Of course, a degree in science education is highly desirable, as is a master’s degree in chemistry.  Candidates should have a GPA of 3.0 or higher.  Some of these positions require prior teaching experience.

Application process:

Interested candidates should apply to Southern Teachers Agency by submitting a completed STA application (available online), along with a resume and cover letter to teachers@southernteachers.com.

Job Fairs:

Southern Teachers Agency will hold three job fairs for active, registered STA candidates in 2013:
