summer courses for additional compensation. The successful candidate will
also have opportunities to develop innovative teaching methods and pursue
independent research or collaborations with existing research programs (see

Evaluation of applications will begin September 1, 2023, and continue until
the position is filled. We will stop accepting applications on November 1,
2023. Applications for this position must be submitted electronically at

vitae (including a list of publications), (2) a statement of teaching
