community outreach. We are seeking an innovative and dynamic leader

named chair) or Russian. The successful candidate will be an
associate or full professor, have a strong record of scholarly and
teaching accomplishments, and some administrative experience.
The desired appointment date is 16 August 2009 (pending budgetary
approval). The salary is competitive based on qualifications.
