We invite candidates to explain how issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion are brought into their teaching, scholarship, and/or service in their application materials.
Applicants should submit a cover letter, C.V., statement of teaching philosophy, three letters of recommendation, and a sample syllabus for a course on Islam.
