their work.

Course content areas for teaching responsibilities may include anatomy and
physiology of the speech mechanism, neuroscience of speech and language,

injury and cognitive rehabilitation, as well as a socio-cultural perspectives of
communication disorders and differences and other core CDS related courses.

category. The visiting appointment position begins September 16, 2026, and will

Given the unique ways in which 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 have been
poorly served, we strongly encourage members of such groups to apply for this
position. Evidence suggests that people self-select out of positions due to
concerns over failure to meet minimal requirements; we strongly encourage such
applicants to apply even if they are uncertain about their qualifications.
