We currently are recruiting for four positions in our Department:
elementary mathematics, reading, and social studies, and special
education. Our Department is notable for its breadth and depth of
scholarship, including autobiographical, poststructural, and
hermeneutic paradigms along with more traditional cognitive,
experimental, and ethnographic approaches. A significant strength
is our collaborative and interdisciplinary orientation, providing
the opportunity for younger faculty to extend their interests and
expertise in a supportive teaching and research environment.
The deadline for initial receipt of applications was March 6;
however, we are continuing to review new applications as they are
received. I hope you will consider applying for one of the
positions, or that you will pass this notice to other possible
candidates.
Thank you for your attention.
