Applicants should submit 1) a letter of application that discusses their professional accomplishments, future goals and philosophy of teaching a diverse student body, and includes the names and contact information for three references, 2) curriculum vitae, and 3) evidence of teaching effectiveness (e.g., evaluations of instructor, learning outcomes data, and pedagogical publications).
