SUBMISSIONS: Applications should be submitted in electronic format. Include letter of application, CV, up to three representative publications, and names and contact information of three references.

Candidates should have a Ph.D. in hand or firmly expected by August 2010. Duties of the successful candidate include departmental, school, and university assignments in teaching, scholarship, and service, consistent with university and school policy for tenure-track appointments.
