A Ph.D. or equivalent terminal degree is required at the time of hire.

All applicants are required to submit a letter of interest and a C.V. Junior candidates (ABD, postdoc, assistant or non-tenured associate professors) should also arrange for the submission of three confidential letters of reference, a statement of research, a writing sample, and a teaching statement which includes a summary of any teaching evaluations available.
