The Teacher Education department at the University of Mississippi is looking for a tenure track assistant professor of special education.

Tenure Track Faculty members perform the functions of teaching, research or creative activities, and service and are assigned to an academic unit appropriate for their Discipline descriptor. Tenure Track Faculty members are usually hired as assistant professors and enter the tenure track. For example, an assistant professor must serve a probationary period of five years and be reviewed for tenure during his or her sixth year of continuous employment at the University. Tenure Track Faculty members may be hired, particularly at the associate and full ranks, with a reduction in the tenure probationary period, as explained in the Tenure Policy. Tenure Track Faculty members at the Associate and Full ranks are full members of the Graduate Faculty, while those at the Assistant rank are Associate Members of the Graduate Faculty.
