The candidate must have the oral and written proficiency necessary to teach in both English and Spanish and demonstrate a robust record or exceptional promise in terms of publishing academic articles, poetry, fiction, or other genres in Spanish. The successful candidate may also be asked to collaborate with other departments’ cross-listed courses and to lead interdisciplinary initiatives. Teaching: The standard annual teaching load for tenure-track faculty is 12 teaching credit hours (TCH) a semester, with additional TCH reassigned time (course release) available for faculty with additional responsibilities such as mentoring doctoral faculty or administering programs.
