Position Description?link.?Please help us get the word out about this opening in our Special Education graduate programs!?The Division of Special Education at Western Oregon University seeks qualified applicants for a full-time, 9-month, tenure-track Associate Professor and 12-month appointment as Division Chair. The Division Chair term is three years and rotates among the faculty. The WOU academic year is based on quarters.

The program is especially interested in recruiting a faculty member with expertise in?teaching methods for low incidence disabilities (e.g., medical aspects, managing communication systems, transition) as well as?on-line program development.
CHAIR RESPONSIBILITIES
The Special Education Division is a multidisciplinary division with ten tenured/tenure track faculty and approximately twenty NTT faculty offering four graduate programs, two undergraduate programs, two minors, and two certificates. These programs include:

Additionally, three full years of American Sign Language courses are offered in the Division, and all but one of the faculty teaching these courses is Deaf. Approximately 250 undergraduate students take ASL each year. The courses can be used to fulfill the foreign language requirement for BA degrees.
The Chair is expected to foster excellence in teaching, scholarship, and outreach for Division faculty, staff, and students; support faculty to expand their programs; and to work collaboratively in establishing future directions for the Division and program innovations. For example, the Division is currently seeking to reopen its Deaf and Hard of Hearing Educator program, which has been on hiatus since 2008. The Division Chair would play a key role in efforts to gain approval and to implement the revised program.
DSE faculty, staff and alumni were among 30,000 who took part in the annual Shamrock Run in Portland, which benefitted Doernbecher Children?s Hospital.
