As a campus with an increasingly diverse student body, we encourage applications from individuals committed to mentoring students from historically underrepresented communities. Please submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, statement of teaching philosophy, research statement, complete college transcripts, and contact information for three references to Interfolio at http://apply.interfolio.com/134418.  In your cover letter, please include brief statements of (a) how you might contribute to the university’s distinctive mission and (b) what experiences you have had that will enable you to mentor a diverse student body. Candidates who submit names of references should expect that the search committee will contact these references in confidence and that credentials will be confirmed prior to hire. Employment will require a satisfactory criminal background check. Applications will be considered until the position is filled; however, applicants are encouraged to apply by November 30, 2023, for full consideration.
