While the candidate would be expected to teach some of these courses, instructors in our department have the opportunity to develop and teach courses related to their scholarly interests or professional expertise. As such, we invite applicants to envision the ways that the expertise you have cultivated might contribute to our department. Please articulate these perspectives clearly in your application cover letter.
