Topic: Looking for a Lean 4 instructor (paid)
Simon Rubinstein-Salzedo (Jan 16 2026 at 22:38):
I’m looking to hire one instructor to teach a course on mathematics in Lean for high-school students at Euler Circle.
Program info: https://eulercircle.com/
Some of the students will have very strong mathematical backgrounds at the level of advanced undergraduates, while for others this will be their first serious introduction to proof-based mathematics.
Requirements (non-negotiable):
- Solid experience with Lean 4
- Familiarity with mathlib
- Comfort formalizing real mathematics (not just toy examples)
- Ability and willingness to teach and explain proofs clearly
- Physically located in the United States and eligible to work without employer sponsorship (i.e. US citizen or permanent resident)
Ideal background:
- Graduate student, postdoc, or professor who actively uses Lean for serious mathematics
Role details:
- Teaching role
- Audience: highly motivated, advanced high-school students
- Expectation: you will be responsible for designing and teaching the class, and taking care of logistics to make sure that it runs smoothly
- Remote
- Course structure is flexible, but my current model is: 4 days/week for 5 weeks, ~2 hours per session
- Class times are flexible and can be scheduled to work well for the instructor
Compensation:
- $6000 total, with flexibility to increase if the workload turns out to be substantially higher than expected
If interested, please send me an email to me (Simon Rubinstein-Salzedo) at simon@eulercircle.com with:
- A brief description of your Lean experience
- Links to relevant GitHub / mathlib contributions (if any)
- A CV or short summary of prior teaching experience
I only need one person, so I’m prioritizing depth, clarity, and fit over speed.
