Your application will remain in the pool until the posting closes. If you wish to be considered for positions beyond that date, then you must reapply. Applicants should submit the following: --cover letter that addresses relevant expertise and experience --current c.v. that includes the names and contact information for three references --evidence of teaching experience (syllabi, teaching portfolio, etc.).
