Job Description
Why USF Communication Sciences and Disorders
University of South Florida's Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders (CSD), home to a world-class, multidisciplinary faculty of speech-language pathologists, audiologists, sign-language interpreters, linguists, hearing scientists and speech scientists. Together, we serve the diverse and growing Tampa Bay community through culturally and linguistically responsive care delivered across schools, medical centers, private practices and community settings.
Our department trains a diverse student body across each of these areas. We offer undergraduate degrees in language, speech and hearing sciences and sign-language interpreter training. Our graduate programs include a master's degree in speech-language pathology, a doctorate in audiology and a doctoral research degree in communication sciences and disorders. We pride ourselves on giving students the strongest possible preparation for these careers, and our faculty regularly win teaching awards acknowledging their commitment to student success.
The excellence of our graduate programs is reflected in their strong national rankings - currently #18th for audiology and #40th for speech-language pathology (U.S. News & World Report, 2025). As part of this pedagogical effort, we operate three clinics and a sign-language interpreter agency, giving students real-world, hands-on training while providing high-quality services to our clients.
Responsibilities
About the Position
The Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders at the University of South Florida, a member of the Association of American Universities (AAU), invites applications for a full-time (12-month) instructional faculty position supporting the undergraduate Interpreter Training Program and the American Sign Language course sequence.
In accordance with USF's instructional faculty career paths, candidates without a doctoral degree who hold an appropriate master's degree may be considered for appointment in the Instructor series at the Assistant Instructor, Associate Instructor or Senior Instructor rank. Candidates with an earned doctoral degree relevant to the teaching assignment may be considered for appointment in the Professor of Instruction series at the Assistant Professor of Instruction, Associate Professor of Instruction, or Professor of Instruction rank. Appointment rank will be commensurate with the candidate's degree, qualifications, experience, and record of accomplishment.
The successful candidate will teach undergraduate courses in interpreter theory, interpreting practice (including practicum or internship), and ASL; and participate in service to the department, college, university, community, and profession. Depending on the level of experience, the successful candidate may also assume a leadership role as program director. The position requires a record of effective university-level teaching, substantial professional interpreting experience, commitment to student success, adherence to professional standards in interpreting, and engagement with students, Deaf communities, and professional partners.
