Full-time faculty work collaboratively to develop a shared syllabus, assignment, and assessment rubrics. Candidates should have experience teaching LRW courses, strong course evaluations, and strong collaboration skills. Candidates will also supervise and mentor classroom teaching assistants.   </span></p><p><span> </span></p><p><span>Candidates must hold a J.D., Ph.D., or equivalent degree by the date of their application. Salary and benefits are competitive. Review of applications will begin immediately and will continue until the position is filled, subject to on-going budgetary approval.
