Sorry, Realized I didn't sign the first version of this.

You would be wise to ask for teaching load, and possibly the
percentage of faculty with Ph.Ds awarded within the last 10 years.  The
years-after-degree makeup of the department is going to affect research
productivity in many schools (either because of slow-down, loss of
grants, or if they havent applied before- "fundability").  Teaching load
varies greatly and obviously has a major bearing on not only time
available, but desire to add another work dimension to an already busy
schedule.

I would be very interested in a summary of your results.
