The department is committed to increasing the diversity of its faculty to reflect our student body composition. Candidates should identify their strengths and experiences in this area.

Applications are accepted electronically ONLY at www.jobsatcu.com, refer to job posting F02811

Review of applications begins October 1, 2015, and continues until the position is filled.

[insider scoop please]

How strict are those areas? Do I have to have published in race/ethnicity or would pubs in criminology suffice?

What's the student body composition such that I can speak to my skills (or lack thereof) in reflecting that?

Thanks!!

They have a terminal MA program and a lot of online courses. They are a small department so it is hard to tell what their identity will be, but it seems like they are skewing toward crim.

[odd.]

Hmm...weird because they have a public affairs program which houses a CJ degree. Maybe they will have both a CJ and a crim degree but in different departments?

[Question]

What's the teaching load?
