Candidates will supervise graduate students at the MA and PhD level.

The department invites applications at all ranks.  Applicants for an assistant professor position must demonstrate the potential for research, publication, and extramural funding.  Candidates applying for consideration at a senior rank must possess national (Associate Professor) or international (Professor) reputations in research, a distinguished record of publication, and fulfill other qualifications necessary for a tenured appointment at our institution.
