The position involves 40% research, 40% teaching (i.e. 2 courses per semester) and 20% service, and it will start August 2016. PhD is expected at the time of appointment, and salary will be commensurate with the level of experience. To apply, candidates should submit a letter of application, a current CV, a copy of 1-2 published articles, evidence of teaching excellence, and contact information (email address and phone) for three qualified reviewers.  Applications are accepted electronically at https://www.jobsatcu.com/postings/107954 position number F02922.
