Temporary Research Speech-Language Pathologist

Temporary Research Speech-Language Pathologist

The Syracuse University Speech Production Lab is hiring a part-time, hourly ASHA-certified speech-language pathologist to support an NIH-funded clinical trial. In this role, you will assist with assessment and treatment of school-age children (ages 917) with residual speech sound disorders, specifically misarticulations of /r/ and /s/. This is a great opportunity for an SLP who enjoys applying evidence-based treatment protocols in a research context and working flexibly with families in home or community settings.

Education and Experience: Master's degree in Speech-Language Pathology CCC-SLP NY state licensure in SLP

Skills and Knowledge: Experience working with children with speech sound disorders

Responsibilities: SLPs will assist with assessment and treatment of school-age children ages 9-17 years with residual speech sound disorders (misarticulations of /r/ and /s/). SLPs must be available in the after-school hours and must follow research protocols for assessment and treatment using an evidence-based approach, Speech Motor Chaining. Children will be seen at their homes or the SLP may find a public location (e.g., library room) for sessions. Treatment includes 16 hours per participant, plus progress-monitoring visits. As this is a randomized controlled trial investigating treatment distribution, SLPs must be willing to work with children in two conditions: two one-hour sessions per week for 8 weeks, or a more intensive treatment schedule (four 2 hr visits the first week, three one hour visits in weeks two and three, and two one hour visits the fourth week). We intend for the SLP to treat one participant at a time, and treat approximately 4-5 participants per year. Mileage will be reimbursed for travel to sessions, and an hourly rate of $41-45/hr will be compensated (up to an additional 1 hr will be paid for pre/post session work for each session).

Application Instructions: In addition to completing an online application, please attach a resume and cover letter.
