Some additional information has been provided for the Concordia position that was announced on the Blog on Monday, October 24th (see that post for the description and application instructions). The following information was provided in a ASP listserv announcement:
Attached is the form providing somewhat standardized information on ASP postings.
In some respects, it's difficult to make this announcement fit the form. Our five-year contracts are evergreen contracts and automatically renewed for an additional five years. So, unlike the five-year contracts common for clinical faculty, there's never a point at which they could be non-renewed for no cause, leaving the faculty member without a job.
Salary and rank depend on experience. For questions, consult with Victoria Haneman, the Chair of the Commitee.
