The Department of Speech-Language-Hearing Sciences (SLHS) at Loyola University Maryland invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor in child communication disorders to begin in July 2026. We are looking for a candidate committed to (1) excellence in graduate and undergraduate education at a dynamic liberal arts university, (2) inclusive teaching practices, and (3) continuing a productive research program. The search committee is especially interested in candidates who, through their research, teaching, and/or service, will contribute to the University and Department's ongoing commitment and action to promote equity, inclusion, and justice for and with all members of our community.

We seek outstanding candidates from all areas of child and adolescent communication disorders, including articulation, fluency, literacy, receptive/expressive language, and social communication, as well as competence with varying research strategies.
