The successful candidate must demonstrate a strong commitment to undergraduate teaching in a liberal arts setting and will be expected to participate in the College’s liberal studies freshman seminar, establish a research program that involves students, and participate fully in the continuing development of the Environmental Studies Program and its many extracurricular programs.
