Position Announcement
The Department of Special Education and Clinical Sciences in the University of Oregon's College of Education (COE) seeks an established scholar to join our faculty as the Bricker/Squires Chair of Early Intervention. The successful candidate will have expertise, and a demonstrated record of scholarship, focusing on early intervention and early childhood populations (e.g., screening and assessment; family engagement; infant mental health; social-emotional development; school readiness; early learning programs; implementation science, etc.). We are particularly interested in a scholar with a demonstrated track record of conducting research and scholarship on the intersection between one or more focus areas, and racial, cultural, and/or linguistic diversity. We are equally committed to increasing the diversity of our faculty. Scholars from historically marginalized backgrounds are strongly encouraged to apply. The successful candidate will help us foster new collaborations and cutting-edge training in our pre-service master's program as well as our nationally ranked doctoral programs in early intervention, special education, school psychology, communication disorders and sciences, and prevention science. Scholars will also have the opportunity to collaborate with Early Childhood CARES, a COE affiliated agency that serves birth through 5 year-old children with developmental delay and disabilities in Lane County, OR. A partnership of this magnitude has the potential to yield significant scientific discoveries in early detection of risk and prevention of early learning and/or mental health problems in our population of vulnerable children in Lane County and could be used as a model program for other counties within Oregon (and other states within the U.S.) that have the same federal mandates to serve young children with early developmental delay. The COE is committed to interdisciplinary research and training and candidates who have the potential to leverage research collaborations throughout the COE and university to stimulate new interdisciplinary initiatives focusing on early intervention and early childhood development are strongly encouraged to apply.

The appointment begins September 16, 2022.
