The Department of Speech-Language Pathology seeks two dedicated speech-language-hearing-swallowing scholars to join an energetic, dynamic, and nurturing team dedicated to ensuring students' competent, compassionate, and creative clinical practice. Our growing programs (M.S.Ed. in Speech-Language Pathology degree program and the undergraduate minor in Communication Sciences and Disorders) have two openings for full-time, tenure-track Assistant Professors.

Each position includes a 10-month contract, with an 18-credit teaching load per academic year (3/3 load) and the option to teach additional summer courses when available. Teaching will include largely classroom-based instruction with opportunities to build in simulations and laboratory activities. Graduate instruction is in-person and onsite. Successful candidates can adequately document expertise or significant potential for quickly developing expertise in their area(s) of teaching showcasing a commitment to ongoing disciplinary currency, solid scholarship according to the Boyer Model with some data-based research disseminated at the national level, excellent interpersonal communication skills, and a commitment to collegiality and professionalism that will significantly contribute to the mission, values, and vision of the Speech-Language Pathology Department, the School of Education, and the university.

New graduates of Ph.D. or Ed.D. programs are not required to have higher education experience, although demonstrated potential in scholarship, teaching, and service is required. The two years of related experience requirement may be met through evidence of sustained clinical practice prior to earning the Ph.D. or Ed.D.

The anticipated start date for both positions is the Fall semester of 2024.

The Department of Speech-Language Pathology aims to provide state-of-the-art educational experiences for our pre-service clinicians. Toward this end, faculty, staff, and students within the department value diversity; pursue reflective inquiry; apply problem-solving strategies; and work to promote innovative, technologically appropriate, interdisciplinary educational practice and collaboration within our respective professional areas. Our graduates are expected to contribute to and be leaders in their field through competent, compassionate, and creative clinical practice.

This is an in-person on campus, non-remote position.
