FACULTY POSITIONS

DEPARTMENT OF SPEECH PATHOLOGY AND AUDIOLOGY

The Department of Speech Pathology and Audiology at the University of Alberta invites applications for faculty positions. Due to past and impending retirements, three tenure-track positions are currently available. Applicants eligible for Alberta Heritage Foundation or Medical Research appointments are also encouraged to apply. AHFMR funds scholars in health-related research; appointments can be at either the junior or senior level and permit the holder to focus primarily on research. Appropriate candidates may be eligible through AHFMR for both salary and establishment grants. Qualified candidates must hold a PhD degree in speech-language pathology or a related discipline. Evidence of research and teaching potential are required, and eligibility for certification by the Canadian Association of Speech-Language Pathologists and Audiologists and/or the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association is desirable. All appointees will conduct research, teach courses, and supervise masters and doctoral student research in their areas of expertise.

The following areas of expertise are sought: Acquired neurogenic communication disorders in adults associated with aphasia, traumatic brain injury, and dementia; normal and disordered aspects of voice and resonance; speech and hearing science (including anatomy and physiology of the speech mechanism and the hearing and vestibular systems; principles and measurement of sound; speech acoustics and perception); child language development and disorders (specialization in the area of early language development desirable). The Department is located in historic and renovated facilities within the Faculty of Rehabilitation Medicine. Department members teach and supervise students in three graduate programs: (1) an entry-level master's degree in speech-language pathology (MSLP-B degree); (2) a research master's degree in speech-language pathology (MSc) for speech-language clinicians; and (3) an interdisciplinary PhD degree program in Rehabilitation Science offered through the Faculty. The Department operates an in-house clinic in which MSLP-B students have their initial practicum placements. Close working relationships exist with community-based programs in speech-language pathology. Also housed within the Faculty of Rehabilitation Medicine are the Departments of Occupational Therapy and Physical Therapy, the Centre for Studies in Clinical Education and the Rehabilitation Research Centre. Potential research collaboration with University colleagues is also available through interdisciplinary research centres such as the Centre for Gerontology, the Centre for Health Promotion Studies, the Centre for Research in Child Development, the JP Das Developmental Disabilities Centre, and the Bioethics Centre. Rank and salary will be commensurate with qualifications and experience. Consideration of applications will commence April 1, 1998 and applications will be accepted until positions are filled.
