The successful candidate will be expected to adopt a teacher-scholar model of professional engagement with a commitment to service and an established (or promise of a) productive agenda of research and scholarship. We value a diverse array of professional and practical experience in addition to the required academic qualifications.

Candidates should be prepared to submit the following materials upon request should they advance further in the search process: official transcripts, complete copies of original teaching evaluations (including qualitative comments) or other evaluations reflecting most recent years of university-level or equivalent teaching, a statement of teaching philosophy, sample syllabi related to the position, three letters of recommendation, and if the candidate does not have a doctorate, evidence of timeline and anticipated completion.
