The AMP Program: The MAA, in partnership with Denison University is seeking undergraduate mathematics faculty who are experienced and thoughtful users of Generative AI to serve as faculty development fellows for MAA Sections. Applications are due November 25, 2026 and the program will run contingent on funding availability from NSF. Selected fellows are expected to be notified in early to mid December.
Working in pairs and with the support of Lew Ludwig (PI, Denison U.) and the project team, twelve fellows will design and provide training at MAA Section Meetings in Spring 2027 for faculty members in using GenAI to support student learning. Selected fellows will attend a 2-day workshop January 10-11, 2027 in Chicago and be expected to provide 3 trainings with their partner in Spring 2027 - one at the department level and two at the section level. Fellows each receive a $12,500 stipend for their participation along with travel funding to attend the pre-JMM training in January 2027 and two MAA Section meetings in Spring 2027.
Fellows will be trained in faculty development, not in AI, so they should bring experience using AI in their own work. The 2-day workshop and subsequent virtual training will focus on how to help hesitant colleagues engage the technology on their own terms, starting with the learning problem rather than the tool.
Applicants should be current faculty members teaching undergraduate mathematics courses at a U.S. institution and be eligible to receive NSF funding. They may apply in pairs with a partner from the same or neighboring MAA Section. Individual applicants will also be considered and will be paired during the selection process, though preference may be given to applicants that apply as a pair. Applicants should provide contact information for their section chair so we can confirm their willingness to host these trainings in their Spring 2027 meetings.
The deadline to apply is Wednesday, November 25 at 11:59 PM ET, but applications submitted by Friday, November 20th will be given priority. Read more and apply here.
