We welcome applications from all qualified persons, including those with non-traditional career paths. Applicants are also encouraged to discuss, in their submitted statements (see below), how they will contribute to expanding the diversity of our campus with their research, supervision, teaching, and public outreach.

Salary will be based on the incumbent’s qualifications, experience, and achievements and in accordance with the Faculty Agreement.

Applicants are asked to submit the following documents:

  • A full curriculum vitae

  • A 1-2 page teaching statement including their experience and interests
  • A 1-2 page equity, diversity, and inclusion statement which includes the candidate’s contributions and plans to advance EDI in their research, teaching, mentoring, and service
