The appointment will be for three years.

The teaching load is 3-2.
The successful candidate will have a demonstrated record of strong teaching at the undergraduate level and experience mentoring students who are broadly diverse with regard to race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, gender, nationality, sexual orientation, and religion. PhD is required by start of the contract period.

Candidates will submit a cover letter, CV, transcripts, two syllabuses uploaded as one document (an introductory course and an upper-level seminar of your choice), and three statements concerning (1) teaching philosophy, (2) research interests, and (3) a statement about mentoring a diverse student body. Applicants should also arrange to have three letters of reference submitted on their behalf.
