Candidates on this list will be contacted and asked to provide the names and addresses of 3 references for us to solicit confidential letters of recommendation. The letters of recommendation will help us develop a short list of candidates who will be invited to participate in a short 15-20 minute Skype interview in early February. We hope to invite up to 3 and 4 of these candidates to visit us for an onsite interview in late February and early March. This process may extend into early April.
