Assistant/Associate/Full Professor: Developmental Communication Disorders -- University of Kansas

[Holly Storkel]

The Department of Speech-Language-Hearing: Sciences and Disorders at the 
University of Kansas seeks to hire two new faculty with expertise in 
Developmental Communication Disorders. These positions are part of a new 
College initiative in the area of *Biobehavioral Approaches to 
Neurodevelopmental Disorders*.  KU is looking for highly talented people to 
develop innovative breakthroughs in etiological mechanisms, preventive 
approaches, and intervention methods to reduce the challenges for 
individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders. This initiative recognizes 
historical and emerging strengths at KU that contribute to new directions 
of discovery, and it is being mounted to forge bridges across academic 
disciplines for front line collaborative research projects and next 
generation training. As part of this initiative, multiple new faculty will 
be hired and placed in highly competitive and well-ranked academic and 
research units with long histories of research excellence. You may learn

development locally and across the globe are encouraged to apply. KU is 
committed to promoting well-being and finding cures through research that 
spans pharmaceutical science and neurological studies, age-related health 
needs, speech and language, cancer therapies, and more.  Due to the 
interdisciplinary and collaborative nature of this new initiative, 
applicants for one position will be considered for a position in all three 
departments (Clinical Child Psychology/Life Span Institute, Child Language 
Program, and Speech-Language-Hearing).  Ranks vary from assistant professor 
to full professor, depending on experience and program needs. 

 

Positions are expected to begin as early as August 18, 2015. The successful

their specialty; perform academic advising responsibilities; and engage in 
departmental, College, University, and national service.
