The Faculty of Rehabilitation Medicine invites applications for a full-time, tenure track position at the assistant, associate, or full professor level in the Department of Communication Sciences & Disorders (CSD). This position is located on North Campus, in Edmonton, Alberta.
The Department of Communication Sciences & Disorders is one of three departments in the Faculty of Rehabilitation Medicine. As the only freestanding faculty of rehabilitation medicine in North America, many unique opportunities exist for collaboration among professionals in speech-language pathology, occupational therapy and physical therapy. We offer a course-based Master of Science in Speech-Language Pathology (MScSLP), a two-year program designed to develop leaders in speech-language pathology through excellence in research, education and citizenship. The program is designed to provide students with the academic and clinical skills required to be eligible for certification through Speech-Language and Audiology Canada (SAC) and registration or licensure by provincial regulatory bodies. Our program prioritizes opportunities for experiential learning across the curriculum and cross-course integration. A thesis-based option within the MScSLP is also offered, as well as a combined MSc/PhD program that allows a select group of highly motivated students to complete the MScSLP and the PhD in rehabilitation sciences within a single integrated program of study. Faculty members in CSD are actively involved in the MSc and PhD thesis-based degree programs in Rehabilitation Science offered through the Faculty of Rehabilitation Medicine.
The Department of CSD is among the largest speech-language pathology education programs in Canada. The Department currently consists of 10 tenure track and 10 academic teaching faculty members, supported by staff at the Department and Faculty level. The MScSLP program is offered in a distributed education model across two campuses in Alberta - Edmonton and Camrose.
Faculty members have diverse research programs in areas including developmental language disorders and phonological development in children, literacy, multilingual language development, neurogenic communication disorders, speech science, hearing science and assessment and management of swallowing disorders. The department has community connections with several non-profit, educational and health care centres in Edmonton, including the Glenrose Rehabilitation Hospital. Faculty members have close connections (e.g., cross appointments and partnerships) with research and clinical institutes such as the https://www.wchri.org/, https://www.ualberta.ca/en/neuroscience-and-mental-health-institute/index.html, and the https://www.ualberta.ca/en/stuttering-speech-therapy/index.html.
