Preferred Qualifications

In addition to a strong record of interdisciplinary scholarship and research, the successful applicant will have evidence of teaching excellence in undergraduate and graduate education; experience in curriculum and program building as well as experience in departmental leadership; and demonstrated commitment to collaborative and community-engaged work.
