Position Description

Primary Purpose and Essential Functions	The School of Health Sciences at the University of the Pacific invites applications for a part-time, non-tenure track position as a Clinical Instructor in the Department of Speech Language Pathology. Non-tenure-track faculty members collaborate in fulfilling the University's mission to provide a superior, student-centered learning experience integrating liberal arts and professional education and preparing individuals for lasting achievement and responsible leadership in their careers and communities. Part-time faculty are appointed as needed by each unit and considered as less than full-time annual appointments as specified by each unit. Part-time is determined by the unit based on a comparison to year-long appointments. Time of service on a part-time appointment may not accrue to time for appointment with tenure. Appointments for full-time non-tenure-track faculty members may be issued as single-year or multi-year terms and may be renewable. Responsibilities include: Provide supervision for a total of one to five (1-5) hours per day (depending on your contract), typically supervising two student clinicians per hour. Occasionally a clinical instructor may be assigned three student clinicians per hour. Provide each student clinician with a minimum of twenty-five percent (25%) direct supervision. However, our expectation is for greater direct supervision as needed to meet the needs of the particular student clinician and/or client. Complete semester supervision log to document supervision time for ASHA accreditation requirements. Must submit written log to the clinic director and/or office manager on the last day of the semester. Provide written feedback towards clinical reports and observational assignments. Essential Functions: Design and conduct educational programs and courses of instruction in accordance with the policies of the University. Actively participate in the comprehensive planning or review of the development and quality improvement of the educational programs and courses of study, assist in the evaluation of the effectiveness of such programs and courses, and make recommendations to the Deans and Provost concerning the educational mission, programs, and policies of the University. Recommend educational policies and degree requirements that effectively carry out the mission of the University. Advise students on academic progress, and recommend student candidates for earned degrees. Participate in the selection, evaluation, and advancement of faculty and academic administrators. Contribute to the advancement of knowledge through open inquiry, creative activity, and research as appropriate. Participate in service as requested or required. The faculty member may consider any matter in connection with the effectiveness and quality of the educational program or the professional welfare of the faculty, may make recommendations to the department chair, academic dean, or provost concerning any policies, programs, or procedures that affect the educational program or faculty welfare. Each school and college in the University may have a faculty of its own consisting of all members of the University faculty within the particular school or college and subject to the approval of the Provost, adopt by-laws and rules concerning its own organization, governance, and procedures. Each faculty shall function under the Dean and Provost and be subjected to the policies of the University. University of the Pacific recognizes that diversity, equity, and inclusion is foundational to the success of our valued students and employees. We prioritize policy and decision-making that demonstrates awareness of, and responsiveness to, the ways socio-cultural forces related to race, gender, ability, sexuality, socio-economic status, etc. impede or propel students, faculty, and staff.
