Boston University Wheelock College of Education & Human Development invites applications for a full-time Clinical Assistant Professor in Literacy Education within the Department of Language and Literacy Education.
We seek a colleague with expertise and an active program of research in literacy development and instruction, including reading foundations and supporting students experiencing reading difficulties.
The ideal candidate will demonstrate deep knowledge of both research related to early reading and writing development and instruction, including supporting students with disabilities and multilingual students, and critical theories, including a demonstrated commitment to culturally and linguistically sustaining pedagogies and practices.
