recruitment. They will also have a strong commitment to teaching
and mentoring. Broad research and teaching interests that intersect
with other areas within the liberal arts and/or sciences are

collaboration, and academic advising.

enrolled at Southwestern are members of groups traditionally
underrepresented in higher education and we are committed to
further increasing and supporting the diversity of our students,
faculty and curriculum. The Department seeks candidates who have a
demonstrated commitment to, and will take an active role in,
enhancing diversity, inclusion, and equity across the University,
including fostering a sense of community and belonging for
students. Please include specific and detailed information about
how you have worked to enhance diversity and inclusion through your
teaching practices, research, and/or service experiences within the
college or university setting.

Candidates must have
earned a D.M.A., Ph.D. or the equivalent, and have a minimum of
three years teaching experience at the collegiate level, preferably
