Southern Teachers Agency | Chemistry Teaching Jobs
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. If you know of students who are interested in teaching science after they graduate, please consider forwarding this information to them.
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.
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 toteachers@southernteachers.com.
