Candidates should have a strong track record in teaching and research/scholarly activity, as well as a demonstrated commitment to excellence in building an equitable and diverse scholarly environment. We especially encourage candidates who bring robust research agendas and the ability to secure external funding for their research and creative activities.

They will, moreover, promote the needs and aspirations of the program; help develop curriculum; contribute to accreditation efforts; teach undergraduate and/or graduate courses; participate in student advising and mentorship; conduct, publish, and disseminate research and/or creative scholarship; and foster relationships with alumni, industry and outside stakeholders.
