Teaching assignments will depend on applicant’s areas of expertise. Qualified applicants must be willing to teach a variety of courses in the DPT program, mentor students, engage in professional and community service, and disseminate scholarly products. 

This is a 12-month academic appointment. Salary is negotiable depending on applicant’s credentials and prior level of academic and/or clinical experience.
