Donut Professorship Questions

Dear Dr. Kruller,
I am a postdoc in Bakeriological Sciences at UW – Milwaukee, and I’m looking for my next professional opportunity. I saw the recent announcement of an Assistant Professor of Fryer Operations position at the University of Bismarck and had a few questions.
1. My research requires some minimal equipment: fryer, dough cutters in round and rectangular, donut-licking monkey, etc.. Are there startup funds available for this equipment?
2. What are the caloric intake requirements for faculty? The announcement mentions five donuts per day as the standard faculty load. Are new faculty allowed to taper up to this level?
3. My research focuses on filled donuts and their impact on society. Is there a possibility of developing a course on this topic in the first year?
Thank you in advance for your time.
Looking forward to hearing from you,
-MLJ

Between 10 and 11am. And it’s a problem you can solve by eating donuts; she doesn’t deal with allergies, or anything.
