We seek a scholar and director for the Shakespeare at Winedale program specializing in the study of Shakespeare, early modern performance, and pedagogy of performance.

Duties will include undergraduate and graduate teaching and service to the program, department, college, and university; a tenured position will also require high levels of research productivity.
