<p>Dear Polymaths,</p>
<p>Happy New Year! It's amazing what can happen in just a few months.
For instance, last June we had only 45 students and 99 supporters. Now,
just a few months later, we have over 250 students and over 800
supporters! Thank you all for spreading the message. As exciting as
this news is, we have an even more auspicious announcement: we are
ready to begin hiring our first instructors. We are seeking creative,
intelligent, and inspirational individuals with both breadth of
knowledge and subject expertise to teach our next several online
courses. Responsibilities of the position are similar to those of an
adjunct professor (but without the need to hold office hours), and
include formulating a course lesson plan, recording and posting weekly
audio or audiovisual lectures, answering student inquiries, and grading
submitted assignments (as applicable). As the courses are offered
online, this work may be performed fully remotely. Compensation is
offered per-course on a semi-monthly basis, with each course running
for 10 weeks.</p>
<p>Sound exciting? Interested in helping train the next generation of
polymathic leaders? Then <a
href="http://www.projectpolymath.org/teach.shtml">fill out an
application</a> and let's get started!</p>
<p>Of course, new instructors imply new course offerings, so even if
you don't plan on teaching, keep an eye on our <a
href="http://www.polymathlectures.org">learning portal</a> over the
next few months!</p>
<p>We have an additional piece of exciting news for some of you: we've
recently been contacted by a producer filming a documentary on 18th and
19th century German culture for the BBC and seeking to interview German
polymaths on topics ranging from “Bach to Bauhaus, Beethoven to the
Brandenburg Gate, Wagner to Weimar Classicism”. Filming will take place
at the end of January and beginning of February. If you are of German
nationality and are interested in being part of this documentary,
please email <a href="mailto:Jess.Hartley@libertybell.tv">Jess.Hartley@libertybell.tv</a>.</p>
<p>Here's to a happy, healthy, and productive 2010!</p>
<p>Best Regards, <br>
Michael Barnathan<br>
Founder, Project Polymath</p>
