Review of applications will begin on August 1, 2026, and will continue until position(s) are filled. Questions can be directed to Dr. A.L. McMichael at amcmicha@barnard.edu.

The salary of the finalist selected for this role will be set based on a variety of factors, including but not limited to departmental budgets, qualifications, experience, education, licenses, specialty, and training.
