“We selected these tenure-track faculty members through national searches, and they represent the very best in their respective disciplines,” Komarraju said. “We are pleased that these talented and accomplished tenure-track faculty members chose SIU Carbondale. These new faculty members are eager to engage our students in the classroom and their research/creative activity will bring us visibility and reinforce our status as a research intensive, comprehensive doctoral university.”
