Current Faculty Positions
Communication Sciences and Disorders
Post-doctoral fellowships are available as part of the Research on the Challenges of Acquiring Language and Literacy (RCALL) Initiative at Georgia State University.
RCALL is an innovative collaborative effort crossing colleges and departments. Research is conducted by faculty and students from two colleges (the College of Arts & Sciences and the College of Education & Human Development) and 10 departments, including learning sciences, communication sciences and disorders, psychology, applied linguistics and early childhood and elementary education. We have a distinctive interdisciplinary postdoctoral training program focused on the acquisition of language and literacy in children and adults. Our research programs address not only basic conceptual and methodological issues in the area of language and literacy acquisition but also the design and evaluation of interventions that may help individuals overcome challenges in the acquisition of language and literacy. Fellows will work with interdisciplinary teams on one or more funded research projects. For more information about RCALL, visit www.researchlanglit.gsu.edu.
As part of the university’s Next Generation initiative, the two-year fellowship will provide trainees with intensive training in intervention research with special populations, analyses of existing databases using advanced statistical techniques and professional development, including grant writing and professional presentations and publication. We are seeking individuals who bring cutting-edge skills (e.g., in adaptive technologies, virtual reality, neuroimaging, complex methods of analyses) to their own programs of research.
Competitive two-year fellowships are currently available for Fall 2019. To apply, please submit your CV, research statement, examples of publications and three letters of recommendation electronically to Keneé Stephens at kstephens@gsu.edu, with the subject line “Language and Literacy Postdoctoral Fellow Search.” We will begin reviewing applications Jan. 31, 2019.
