Please submit only in electronic form the following: a letter of application, a c.v., a graduate school transcript, a brief statement of teaching experience and research interests, a writing sample, and three letters of recommendation (the online application will request names/email addresses so that recommenders or dossier services may submit the letters directly), to https://career.wellesley.edu.
