The successful candidate will have the opportunity to contribute to a growing department in a welcoming collegiate environment that values innovative education. Class sizes typically range from 10 – 25 students, which allows instructors to be creative with course delivery and for students to receive more individual attention. VMI is a public, four–year, undergraduate military college of approximately 1,500 students located in the historic Shenandoah Valley of Virginia and is conveniently located to Richmond, Washington DC, Lynchburg, and Roanoke. About half of VMI’s graduates accept a commission as an officer in the armed forces upon graduation. Teaching excellence in a liberal arts setting is our first priority. Tenure-track faculty members who are U.S. citizens wear uniforms and adhere to military customs, but military experience among the faculty is neither required nor expected.
