My Application Materials

The documents I used on the academic job market, in LaTeX on Overleaf: my CV, a general cover letter, teaching portfolio (with service and diversity statements and syllabi), research statement, a research proposal, book prospectus, and the case I made for a salary adjustment. Open the project to read them, or use Menu, then Copy Project, to adapt them for your own applications.
