experience with community-based planning and action are 
desirable.  Responsibilities include undergraduate and graduate 
teaching, student advising, research, publication, and program 
responsibilities. Candidates should be able to teach courses 
supporting Master's level programs as well as undergraduate

engaged in interdisciplinary teaching, research, and program 
activities. Applicants should show a strong commitment to 
working collaboratively within such a cross-disciplinary program.

community organizations.
