students take, one course at a time. Each block is three and a
half weeks long, with an academic year of eight and a half
blocks. Formally, faculty are expected to teach six blocks a
year, but professors may apply for a limited number of release
blocks to pursue scholarly projects. All requirements for the

2008; if not, the initial appointment will be at the level of
Instructor. Applicants should submit a curriculum vitae, a
statement of research and teaching interests, a statement of
