About The Position

The University of Oregon’s Communication Disorders and Sciences (CDS) program in the College of Education is seeking to build a pool of qualified candidates to fill periodic instructional and supervision vacancies. These positions are limited duration appointments, potentially renewable for up to a total of three years. All faculty are expected to contribute to the equity and inclusion goals of the program and college, and to incorporate inclusive practices into their work. Instructional faculty may teach at the undergraduate or graduate level, with duties including course preparation, teaching, assignment and exam preparation and evaluation, and maintaining office hours. Course content areas may include anatomy and physiology of the speech mechanism, neuroscience of speech and language, acquired disorders, adult language disorders, motor speech disorders, brain injury and cognitive rehabilitation, speech sound disorders, and voice disorders, among other core CDS-related courses. Clinical supervisors will provide clinical instruction and/or supervision in clinical or professionally-related community education/service settings to CDS students, focusing on the practical application of skills. They are expected to demonstrate and share their expertise and contribute to coordination roles within these settings or for the program. While some instructional assignments may be approved for remote delivery, other courses and supervision responsibilities require in-person availability at the campus in Eugene, OR. The program strongly encourages applications from individuals from historically marginalized racial and ethnic groups, sexual- and gender-minorities, students with disabilities, and persons with immigrant, language learner, and/or low-income status. Applicants are encouraged to apply even if they are uncertain about meeting all minimal requirements.
