Lecturer and Director of Clinical Education — Search #67813
Waters College of Health Professions / Department of Diagnostic and Therapeutic Sciences


The Department of Diagnostic and Therapeutic Sciences in the Waters College of Health Professions invites applications and nominations for the position of Lecturer and Director of Clinical Education. The home campus for this position will be the Armstrong campus.

Georgia Southern University is a distinctive combination of Southern charm and uncompromising academics. We are a Carnegie Doctoral/R2 institution serving about 26,500 students through nine colleges on three beautiful oak-lined campuses in Statesboro, Savannah, Hinesville, and via a growing online program. Throughout its degree offerings at the associate's, bachelor's, master's, and doctoral levels, Georgia Southern cultivates community collaboration, world-class scholarship and hands-on learning opportunities.

Georgia Southern University was founded in 1906 as a school for teaching modern agricultural production techniques and homemaking skills to rural school children. Its Savannah campus was established in 1935 as Armstrong Junior College for local youth who could not afford to attend college away from home. The Liberty Center in Hinesville was established in 1998 to serve the military and their families at nearby Fort Stewart, the largest military base east of the Mississippi. All three locations came together in 2018 when Armstrong State University and Georgia Southern University consolidated. The "new" Georgia Southern University preserves a passion for serving its neighbors while preparing students for lifelong service as scholars, leaders, and responsible stewards of their communities.

Believing that diversity, equity, and inclusion contribute to excellence in the workplace and to the quality of the University's academic environment, Georgia Southern University is committed to recruiting and retaining diverse faculty and staff to support, promote, and serve a diverse student body and promote Inclusive Excellence. Candidates from historically underrepresented groups, whose work furthers the institution's Inclusive Excellence goals and who bring to campus varied life experiences, perspectives, and backgrounds are especially encouraged to apply.

Within this setting, the Department of Diagnostic and Therapeutic Sciences houses 18 full-time faculty and staff serving nine programs within the Radiologic Science, Respiratory Therapy, and Medical Laboratory Science degrees.

The Respiratory Therapy program uses a scientific approach to problem-solving and critical thinking to educate students able to contribute to the growth and development of the respiratory therapy field. This position will enhance the creative integration of technology within current and future course offerings. The Director of Clinical Education will provide effective leadership in developing and conducting ongoing assessment of the clinical education program.
