Areas of Expertise

Please consult the Research section of the Speech and Hearing Science (SHS) web site: http://shs.asu.edu/labs for information regarding active areas of research within the department. The Department is seeking candidates who can further strengthen our existing programs. We will be most interested in candidates whose research interests complement our themes, rather than adding new ones. It is also important that candidates are able to obtain support their research via extramural funding. Those applying should provide evidence in their application letter of their potential to be competitive for extramural funding.

Teaching

All tenure-track Faculty carry a 4-course per year (2 courses per semester) teaching responsibility. Tenure-track faculty cover courses in the undergraduate and the various graduate (e.g., AuD and PhD) curricula. Tenure-track faculty have no clinical or clinical supervision responsibilities, but they are expected to develop high-quality, independent research programs. Reductions in teaching load can be negotiated with the Department Chair.

The person who fills this position will likely teach courses at both the undergraduate and graduate levels (the AuD and PhD programs). The most likely undergraduate course is SHS 311: Hearing Science. In the PhD and AuD programs, the potential courses include: SHS 513: Neurophysiology of the Auditory System, SHS 516: Auditory Evoked Potentials, SHS 520: Auditory Pathologies/Disorders and Otoneurologic Applications, and SHS 552: Physiological Measures of Auditory Function. Applicants are encouraged to address their ability to teach these courses. In the PhD program, the candidate would be asked to contribute to the PhD Pro-Seminar and to mentor PhD students. Additional details about the degree programs can be found on the SHS departmental web site: http://asu.clas.asu.edu.

Salary/Start-Up Funding: We can offer a competitive salary and start-up funding packages. Details of salary and start-up funding will be negotiated in the process of making an offer.
