Qualifications include an earned Ph.D. in Communication Sciences and Disorders or related field, potential for a strong record of research and scholarship, teaching experience, and a desire to contribute to a growing, innovative program.

Areas of need include: dysphagia, speech sound disorders, audiology and aural rehabilitation, speech science, multilingualism, and social communication, though all strong applicants will be considered.

Responsibilities include teaching graduate and undergraduate courses in the candidate’s area of expertise, directing student research, participating in service at the department, university, and professional levels, and consulting with clinical educators as needed.

Salary and rank commensurate with experience.

The University of Houston, a Carnegie-designated Tier One public research university, is centrally located in Houston, Texas. Situated within four miles of the Texas Medical Center, the world's largest medical complex, the university affords extensive opportunities for interdisciplinary research and clinical collaboration. As an expanding academic unit, the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders (www.class.uh.edu/comd) is exceptionally well supported by the college as a center for high-impact research, rigorous education, and community clinical service.

We have approximately 300 undergraduate and 80 graduate students. Degrees offered include: B.A. and B.S. degrees in Communication Sciences and Disorders, an M.A. degree in Speech-Language Pathology, and a Ph.D. in Communication Sciences and Disorders. Additionally, the department offers a post-baccalaureate leveling program. Our on-campus clinic provides services to a broad demographic cross-section of the greater Houston area across a wide range of ages, disorders, and etiologies.

Review of applications will begin immediately and will continue until the positions are filled.

Employees are expected to have a home address in the state of Texas for the duration of their appointments.

Official transcripts are required for a faculty appointment and will be requested upon selection of the final candidates.

All positions at the University of Houston-System are security sensitive and will require a criminal history check. Individuals conducting research in critical infrastructure areas (i.e., communication infrastructure systems, cybersecurity systems, electric grid, hazardous waste treatment systems, and/or water treatment facilities) are subject to regular review to ensure the security and integrity of the research is maintained.

The University of Houston System and its universities are Equal Opportunity Institutions. Everyone is encouraged to apply.
