The University of Northern Iowa (www.uni.edu) prides itself on putting 
"Students First," and has a reputation for providing exceptional 
undergraduate education, as well as complementary programs at the 
master's, specialist and doctoral levels. Building on its historic 
excellence in teacher education, the university has developed 
outstanding programs in business, natural sciences, humanities and fine 
arts, and social and behavioral sciences. One of three state 
universities, UNI enjoys national recognition for its high educational 
standards. U.S. News and World Report has ranked the University of 
Northern Iowa second among Midwest public universities for 11 
consecutive years.

The university's medium size--around 12,600 students--allows it to offer

faculty, facilities and academic choices of a major university, while 
retaining a friendly, small-college atmosphere on a compact, park-like 
campus. With more than 40 major buildings on 850 acres, the campus can 
still be crossed in an easy 15-minute walk.

Experiential learning opportunities such as undergraduate research, 
internships, student teaching, international study programs, community 
volunteering and cooperative education encourage a classroom knowledge 
connection with real-world experience. A rigorous Liberal Arts core 
curriculum equips students with a broad understanding and knowledge of 
how to apply and acquire new information throughout life.

Applications are encouraged from minority persons, women, veterans and 
persons with disabilities. Complete applications received by March 21, 
2008, will be given full consideration. The position is available 
starting August 2008. Send letter of application complete with
