The ideal candidate would also demonstrate significant professional growth in instruction and experiential learning and provide evidence of professional recognition. The primary job responsibilities include teaching 2-4 courses per semester at the undergraduate and graduate level, with preference given to those well-equipped to meaningfully contribute to our graduate-level teaching needs, and fulfilling the service needs related to various programs in the school.

The Director will determine the number of courses and other assigned duties based on the candidate’s experience and areas of expertise. The assignment may be adjusted annually based on needs and performance. The projected start date is August of 2025 or January of 2026. Applications will be accepted until the position is filled.
