The ideal candidate is one who has proven publication success and evidence of teaching effectiveness.

South Bend Metropolitan Area

The South Bend metropolitan area, with a population of more than 250,000 residents, is a city in the midst of transforming itself. From its manufacturing legacy, South Bend has retained some manufacturing operations, but has also moved to reinvent itself with its strength in education, health care, small business, and, even tourism. Beyond Notre Dame, several other colleges and universities call South Bend home, including Holy Cross College, Saint Mary's College, Bethel College, and Indiana University-South Bend. Situated at the southernmost bend of the St. Joseph River, the river figures prominently in South Bend's history (explored by La Salle in the 17^th century) and current life (more than 12 parks in the area are on the riverfront). The South Bend area enjoys warm summers, beautiful autumns, unpredictable springs, and robust winters (it does snow in South Bend).

Nearby is Chicago, only a two-hour drive or train ride (via the South Shore Line, direct to the museums, symphony, and parks in the loop) away. South Bend is only 20 miles from the shores of Lake Michigan. The spectacular Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore is a short drive away, as are various scenic towns in southwestern Michigan situated on the lake. Several small ski resorts are within an hour's drive, with Michigan's finest ski resorts and the Upper Peninsula only a few hours' drive away.

A River Walk area around the St. Joseph River provides miles of paved, multipurpose paths separated from streets, with scenic views of the river. The river contains what many claim is the best Steelhead Trout fishing in the world (also in abundance are Brown Trout, and Chinook/King and Coho Salmon). South Bend is one of 158 communities in the United States to be awarded Bicycle Friendly Community status. The South Bend area boasts an unusual number of high quality golf courses, with four private 18-­hole golf courses and eight public courses. Notre Dame also has two golf courses, including the Warren Golf Course, winner of numerous national awards.

The South Bend area has a vast network of high quality parks-more than 75. There are ample kayaking and boating opportunities on the river and on the myriad lakes throughout the community. Culturally, South Bend has many notable offerings in music, theater, and art. The Morris Performing Arts Center is home to the South Bend Symphony Orchestra. The orchestra's Shanghai-born conductor, Tsung Yeh, was the first conductor ever to hold music directorships of both a western symphony orchestra and a major Chinese orchestra. The Fischoff National Chamber Music Association, sponsor of the world's largest chamber music competition, is held in South Bend annually, with the winners appearing at Orchestra Hall in Chicago. At Notre Dame, the DeBartolo Performing Arts Center hosts musical concerts, dance, theater, and opera. The art museum is one of the finest university art museums in the world.

Affordable housing is easy to find in the South Bend area, which represents a mix of charming historical neighborhoods within walking distance of Notre Dame, newer housing developments boasting some of the strongest schools in Indiana (including the top-ranked elementary school in the state of Indiana), and "country" living-often on water-within a 15-minute drive to campus.

A distinguished choice of private secular, parochial, and public school options are available.
