The Department of Speech-Language Pathology at California State University San Marcos (CSUSM) is grounded in our mission to build community through communication in a responsive and supportive way; to provide an innovative curriculum which promotes reflections of one's own diversity, actions, and empathy to create a climate of shared values and respect with the culturally and linguistically diverse populations; and to engage students in highly interactive and safe learning environments to build academic knowledge and develop critical thinking skills to apply to real-world decision making. 

The Department of Speech-Language Pathology is housed within the College of Education, Health, and Human Services, which consists of 7 units (Education; Human Development; Kinesiology; Nursing; Public Health; Social Work) creating collaborative clinical and research opportunities that engage community, regional, and global partners. The college is dedicated to discovery, generation of new knowledge, diversity, and wellness. 

Our department seeks a Tenure Track faculty at the rank of Assistant Professor who has expertise and qualifications in adult and pediatric motor speech disorders, including voice, resonance, and Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC). The successful applicant may teach in the Master’s, Bachelor’s, and/or Preparation programs through face-to-face, hybrid, and/or online modalities. This individual will also be expected to mentor students, serve on culminating experience committees as chair and/or member; develop and maintain a research program; and serve on department, college and university‐level committees. 

As part of an established department within the College of Education, Health and Human Services, the successful candidate will serve an important role in the ongoing success of the face-to-face master’s program, live and online bachelor’s program, and fully online SLP preparation program, in addition to participating in the development and advancement of the hybrid master’s program. All SLP programs are 12-month academic programs (Fall; Spring; Summer semesters), which may involve teaching and/or service commitments in the summer months. Although courses are offered in a variety of instructional modalities, faculty are expected to hold in-person office hours and be available to support students on campus in the classroom and clinic.
