Please submit a letter of application describing teaching and scholarly interests, along with a CV and examples of scholarly work, and three letters of recommendation to the application website below.

Reed values cultural and intellectual pluralism as essential to the excellence of our academic program: in your letter of application, we strongly encourage you to address how your teaching, scholarship, mentorship, and/or community service might support the commitment to diversity and inclusion articulated in the College’s diversity statement (http://www.reed.edu/diversity/).

All application materials must be received by December 15, 2015. For further information about this position, please contact the search chair, Matt Pearson (email below).
