diverse backgrounds and should highlight any specific knowledge and 
skills related to building an inclusive educational environment in their 
application materials.  PhD required at time of appointment.

Candidates should provide a curriculum vitae, a letter of application 
that addresses the aspects of teaching and research described in the 
position, and the names and contact information of three references. 
Applicants should include in their letter of interest information about 
how they will effectively engage with issues of diversity in the 
classroom as well as on campus or in the broader community.  After an 
initial review of applications, a short list of final candidates will be 
asked to submit additional materials, including academic transcripts, 
course descriptions, sample syllabi, course evaluations, and a writing 
sample. Preliminary Skype interviews with candidates will be scheduled 
in March 2017.  Questions concerning the search should be directed to 
Professor Michael Ennis-McMillan, Search Committee Chair, at 
mennis at skidmore.edu.
