We are seeking outstanding candidates for the position of Department Chair of Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology who will actively oversee and advocate on behalf of an ASHA accredited program that is innovative, committed to excellence, and recognized internationally. Responsibilities include providing leadership and vision at the Department, College, University, national, and international levels; nurturing student, staff, and faculty development; developing new academic programs; and broadening the clinical excellence of the Department. The candidate will also be expected to continue his or her already recognized research program and contribute to the teaching mission of the department.
