Faculty members are expected to engage in research, to teach at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, to advise students, and to serve on School and University committees. Minimum qualifications include an earned doctorate by the starting date, a research agenda, and teaching excellence. Minimum salary is $42,500 for assistant; $47,500 for associate.
