MossRehab, one of the top 10
rehabilitation centers in the nation, seek(s) an experienced clinical
aphasiologist to direct the programs of its long standing MossRehab Aphasia
Center. Founded in 1996 as a joint
program of MossRehab and Moss Rehabilitation Research Institute (MRRI), the
Aphasia Center is a pioneer in creatively addressing the long-term
communication and psychosocial needs of people with aphasia. The Center
provides focused and meaningful intervention at strategic points in the
communication recovery process. This can occur through the Center’s various
programs, including: 1) the Advanced Clinical Therapy program (ACT), a
specialized outpatient program that provides the most up-to date treatments for
chronic aphasia; 2) A vibrant Aphasia Activity Center where people and families
living with chronic aphasia participate in an array of communication and life
enhancing activities; and 3) Participation in research.
The successful applicant will
lead the Aphasia Center’s continued growth and development. This includes
supervision and mentoring of Speech-language pathologists, research assistants,
students and volunteers; managing new and existing program initiatives; grant
writing for program support, and, potentially conducting research. The
MossRehab Aphasia Center is closely affiliated with Moss Rehabilitation
Research Institute, which is internationally known for its research in
neuroscience and neurorehabilitation, including a long tradition of
ground-breaking research in aphasia. The Aphasia Center also is a founding
member and affiliate of AphasiaAccess, a new alliance of Life Participation
providers and shares its interest in life participation outcomes research.
The ideal candidate is a PhD
or Masters level speech–language pathologist with clinical experience. The
Clinical Directorship is a salaried half-time position. However, depending on
the interests and qualifications of the candidate, the position could be
expanded up to full-time through research collaborations and extramural grant
support.
