Open Rank Faculty Positions in Language and Hearing Sciences

The Department of Speech, Language, and Hearing at The University of Texas at Dallas (UT Dallas) seeks to fill tenure-system, open rank faculty positions in Language Science (three positions) and Hearing Science (one position). Applicants with research programs in the area of language development, child or adult language disorders, and/or child or adult language interventions will be prioritized for hire; in addition, applicants with research programs in the area of hearing or balance disorders and their rehabilitation will also be prioritized.  These positions require an active research program with current or clear potential for extramural funding, publications in peer-reviewed journals, and service within the UT Dallas and professional communities. Applicants with a well-established record of extramurally funded research and publication history will be considered for endowed research appointments that provide annual support for high-impact speech, language, and hearing research programs.  Teaching responsibilities will include undergraduate and graduate level courses within the successful applicants’ discipline.

Professor of Neuroscience of Sleep

The Department of Neuroscience in the School of Behavioral and Brain Sciences in collaboration with the Department of Bioengineering in the School of Engineering and Computer Science at The University of Texas at Dallas seeks to fill a position at the rank of Professor within the field of sleep neuroscience. Sleep is a fundamental component of proper neuronal function and optimal brain health. Lack of proper sleep is a major contributing factor to numerous disease states. The underlying physiology and pathology of sleep circuitry is thus relevant to the work of many current researchers at UT Dallas who focus on neuroscience, including ongoing work on fear/anxiety, affective behavioral disorders, pain, migraine, cognition, executive functions, and optimal brain development/aging. Additionally, the development and use of novel devices to track and optimize sleep is a rapidly growing area that is both critical for research into the impact of sleep on neuronal function and for translation of findings into products to benefit human health. As a result, opportunities exist for the creation of new devices that can track and improve sleep in humans, an area of research that is broadly applicable within the research and expertise of the Bioengineering department. Applicants whose research expertise and interests span these areas are strongly encouraged to apply, particularly academic researchers with an established history in this field with an international reputation and with an interest in translation/commercialization of fundamental research into products to improve human health.
