Assistant/Associate/Professor AI in Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology

Assistant/Associate/Professor AI in Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology

The Department of Speech and Hearing Science in the College of Arts and Sciences at The Ohio State University invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position at the rank of Assistant Professor, Associate Professor, or Professor, with expertise in the applicability of artificial intelligence (AI) techniques and tools to speech-language pathology or audiology.

We are searching broadly for individuals who do empirical research on the development or application of AI tools and techniques that have relevance for speech, language, or hearing sciences and disorders, and whose research program focuses on future developments, best practices and applications of AI within our disciplines. The ideal candidate will work with the department to create a vision for the future of AI in our field, and describe a pathway leading toward this future. The ideal candidate will also help to prepare future generations of researchers and clinicians for careers in which AI will be heavily featured, expanding the expertise and scope of our fields.

Performance Objectives

• Develop and maintain active research program.
• Teach courses in basic speech-language or hearing sciences, as well as courses in more clinically applied areas associated with their area of expertise.
• Mentor undergraduate and graduate students in research.
• Integrate exposure to, and experience with, AI tools in our undergraduate, professional, and PhD programs.

Education and Experience Requirements

Required: Applicants must have a PhD in Speech and Hearing Science, Communicative Disorders, AI, Computer Science, or a related field. The successful candidate will demonstrate a record of publications in peer-reviewed journals or an emerging publication record, and evidence of potential for extramural funding (e.g., National Institutes of Health, NSF). Willingness to work collaboratively with faculty and to mentor students representing varied perspectives and academic backgrounds is essential.
