   1. Interest in a position with the department,
   2. Professional and academic qualifications,
   3. Availability, and
   4. Preference of specific RPTA courses they feel qualified to teach (professional and/or academic qualifications should support these choices). Applicants may include developed syllabi used at other institutions to support their ability to teach.
