New River Community College
Overview
Associate/Full Professor, The Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders (CSD), College of Health and Human Development (HHD), The Pennsylvania State University. We invite applications for an associate or full-rank tenure-line faculty position. The anticipated start date is negotiable. We seek to build on strengths in augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) and connections to other departmental areas. The CSD department is committed to growing its AAC research, clinic, and outreach programs at Penn State, and is searching for a senior faculty member to contribute to or complement these efforts. Strategic areas reflect the expertise of the current AAC faculty at Penn State: (1) development of interfaces between individuals and AAC technologies; (2) development of high- and low-technology means to assess intervention efficacy across populations, including low-resource communities; (3) expansion of implementation sciences in AAC, including literacy applications; (4) an integrated clinical and outreach approach to incorporating AAC into clinical service, academic instruction, and research. Existing AAC research at Penn State spans basic science on system design and access through intervention research to implementation science, offering a wide range of opportunities for the new faculty member. The CSD Department and College of Health and Human Development encourage applicants who would enrich the diversity of our academic community. See Penn State University's diversity statement at equity.psu.edu/psu-diversity-statement. Penn State embraces inclusion as a core strength and essential element of our public service mission. The university supports diversity initiatives through offices for Educational Equity, Affirmative Action, and Inclusion. There are concurrent departmental initiatives to broaden participation of individuals traditionally underrepresented in the field of Communication Sciences and Disorders. Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities
Applicants must demonstrate excellence in research, a strong publication record, interest in collaboration across disciplines, commitment to mentoring students or early career researchers, and a track record of or strong potential for external grant funding. Responsibilities include continuing or establishing a fundable line of interdisciplinary research that contributes to or complements existing AAC strengths, teaching graduate and undergraduate courses, supervising and mentoring student researchers, and providing service to the Department, College, and University. Reasonable accommodations will be made upon request to enable individuals with disabilities to perform essential functions. Qualifications
Earned doctorate; evidence of an active program of research in speech, language, or hearing, or a related field; previous college teaching experience; and eligibility for appointment as a tenured professor at The Pennsylvania State University. American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC) certification is preferred. Significant leadership experience and ability to cross interdisciplinary and interprofessional boundaries are highly desirable. Salary
Competitive salary consistent with qualifications and experience. Penn State offers an excellent benefits package. The Pennsylvania State University is a land-grant comprehensive research institution with approximately 44,000 students at University Park. State College offers a high quality of life. Penn State values integrity, respect, responsibility, discovery, excellence, and community. Interdisciplinary Opportunities
The College of HHD comprises eight degree-granting units and encourages interdisciplinary collaboration across University Park and Hershey Medical Center campuses with centers such as the Penn State Social Science Research Institute, the Center for Healthy Aging, the Social, Life, and Engineering Sciences Imaging Center, the Penn State Center for Language Science, and the Huck Institutes of the Life Sciences. Collaborations with Biobehavioral Health, Psychology, Education and Special Education, Kinesiology, Bioengineering, Human Development and Family Studies, and medical departments are available, along with partnerships in community agencies, healthcare facilities, and public schools.
