Position Description

The Department of Audiology at San José State University is pleased to announce a search for an associate or full professor to serve as Department Chair beginning in July 2025. The Department Chair will provide visionary leadership for the Department of Audiology and must have a substantive record of published research, teaching effectiveness, and professional achievements. The Department Chair will provide academic and administrative leadership, promote excellence in research and teaching, manage and secure resources for the Department of Audiology.

The Doctor of Audiology Program at San José State University provides all students in our program with a solid theoretical framework for evidence-based practices in audiology, so that they may apply their knowledge in clinical practice with skill, efficiency, and sensitivity. It is also our goal to be accessible to students from diverse backgrounds. Our on campus clinic and affiliated medical centers (e.g., Kaiser, UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital, Stanford Children’s Hospital) provide excellent opportunities for clinical and research collaboration and community engagement.

The Department of Audiology and San José State University value diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging. Our excellence in research, teaching, and service can only be fully realized by faculty, students, and staff who share our commitment to these values. SJSU enrolls more than 36,000 students, many of whom are historically underserved, and around 45% are first-generation and 38% are Pell-recipients. SJSU is a Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI) and Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander (AANAPISI) Serving Institution. The university’s commitment to social justice extends from its vibrant, inclusive campus to an international network of over 275,000 alumni. As such, San José State is committed to increasing the diversity of its faculty so our disciplines, students, and the community can benefit from multiple ethnic and gender perspectives.

Successful candidates will demonstrate evidence of a commitment to equity and inclusion through their research, teaching, and/or service. We ask that all applicants include a Diversity Statement with their application package. A guide to writing this statement can be found at SJSU Diversity Statement Guidelines, along with information about how these statements will be evaluated.
