Assistant/Associate Professor in Speech-Language Pathology
for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc as headings; can fold minor metadata into short
or drop it. Must preserve all substantive info; do not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "How To Apply", "Other Information", "Conditions of Employment", "Equal Employment Opportunity", etc. Also remove "College/Department Information", "About Us", "Location", etc? Those might be considered substantive? The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." We need to decide which sections to include. We have content: Job Summary (but we shouldn't repeat job title). The summary includes description: "The College of Allied Health Sciences (CAHS) at Augusta University is seeking an Assistant Professor or Associate Professor in the Master of Health Science in Speech-Language Pathology (SLP) graduate program. The SLP faculty position requires a willingness and commitment to engage with best practice initiatives in instruction and pedagogy, mentoring, and curriculum design and development. Job responsibilities will include teaching, service, and scholarship responsibilities consistent with the mission and vision of the SLP department and program. Additional job duties will include organization, coordination, and communication with prospective students throughout the application and admissions process. The tenure status (on tenure track, tenure upon appointment, or not on tenure track) will be determined based on the qualifications of the final candidate and will be confirmed in the final offer along with position expectations." That's substantive; could be "About the role" section. Responsibilities: Teaching - 80%, Scholarship - 10%, Service - 10% (list). Also mention additional duties: organization, coordination, communication with prospective students throughout application and admissions process. That's part of responsibilities. Requirements: Required Qualifications: doctoral degree, ABD considered, evidence of academic preparation and clinical expertise, ability to teach graduate level, current CCC-SLP certification, eligibility for licensure in GA (or current GA licensure). Also Assistant Professor early-level career 0-4 years experience; Associate Professor mid-level career faculty member with at least five years at rank of Assistant Professor or comparable training, background, experience. Also required faculty employment qualifications for USG institutions: consistent with SACSCOC requirements, evidence of ability as teacher, evidence of activity as scholar, successful experience (waived for those just entering), desirable personal qualities. Preferred Qualifications: prior teaching experience in CAA-accredited graduate program; experience with clinical supervision of graduate students; record of scholarly activity or strong potential for research productivity; expertise in specialty areas; experience with interprofessional education and collaboration; familiarity with accreditation standards and program assessment processes; strong communication, mentorship, and leadership skills; at least 7 years experience as a speech language pathology and 7 years in teaching. Skills: maybe we can extract from preferred qualifications: communication, mentorship, leadership skills. Could be a Skills section. Benefits: Comprehensive benefits include medical, dental, vision, 13 paid holidays, vacation leave, sick leave, generous retirement plans, tuition waiver, wellness options, and much more! Also tuition assistance program after 6 months. Pay: Salary commensurate with education, experience, achievements; subject to availability of funds. Also mention rank and salary determined at time of hire based on factors; internal equity and market data. Also mention promotion and tenure process. Schedule: "This position is fiscal year based and works year-round. The intended work commitment or full-time equivalent (FTE) for this position is 1.0 and considered full-time." Thus we have content for About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe combine Required and Preferred as Qualifications?), Qualifications (maybe separate Required and Preferred?), Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience" is okay if it's actual content; but we should not create sections with placeholder like "not specified". The Pay section includes actual statement: "Assistant Professor- Salary and compensation is commensurate with education, experience, and achievements. The salary is subject to availability of funds." That's specific enough. Schedule: we have specifics. Benefits: we have specifics. Now we must not include boilerplate like EEO, How to Apply, Conditions of Employment, College/Department Information, About Us, Location, etc. Also we must not repeat job title as heading. We must output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. We'll structure:
About the role
... (summary)
Responsibilities
- Teaching – 80%: Student instruction in the Master of Health Sciences in Speech-Language Pathology Graduate program.
- Scholarship – 10%: Participate in scholarship activities to include research, presentations, and publications.
- Service – 10%: Participate in service to the institution, college and department by serving on committees at all levels.
- Additional duties: organization, coordination, and communication with prospective students throughout the application and admissions process.
Qualifications
We could split into Required and Preferred but maybe combine under Qualifications with subheadings? But we only allowed headings for sections; we could have subheadings like but not allowed? The instruction only mentions using for section headings; doesn't forbid other headings but we should stick to . Could we have two sections: Required Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications? That would be two sections. But we need to avoid too many thin sections. Could combine into one Qualifications section with for required and another for preferred. That's okay.
Thus:
Required Qualifications
- Doctoral degree (PhD, EdD, or equivalent) in Speech-Language Pathology or a closely related field.
- Consideration may be given to candidates who are ABD with an anticipated completion date prior to the start of employment.
- Demonstrate evidence of academic preparation and clinical expertise in speech-language pathology, with the ability to teach at the graduate level.
- Current certification in Speech-Language Pathology from the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (CCC‑SLP).
- Eligibility for licensure as a Speech-Language Pathologist in the state of Georgia (or current Georgia licensure).
- Assistant Professor: early‑level career as a faculty member with 0‑4 years experience in a related field.
- Associate Professor: mid‑level career faculty member with at least five years at the rank of Assistant Professor or comparable training, background, and experience.
- Meet the USG faculty employment qualifications: consistent with SACSCOC requirements for institutional accreditation; evidence of ability as a teacher; evidence of activity as a scholar and ability in all other duties assigned; successful experience (waived for those just entering the academic profession who meet all other requirements); desirable personal qualities judged on the basis of personal interview, complete biographical data, and recommendations.
Preferred Qualifications
- Prior teaching experience in a CAA‑accredited graduate program.
- Experience with clinical supervision of graduate students.
- Record of scholarly activity or strong potential for research productivity.
- Expertise in specialty areas (e.g., dysphagia, voice, neurogenic communication disorders, pediatrics).
- Experience with interprofessional education and collaboration.
- Familiarity with accreditation standards and program assessment processes.
- Strong communication, mentorship, and leadership skills.
- At least 7 years experience as a speech‑language pathologist and 7 years in teaching.
We could also have a Skills section pulling out communication, mentorship, leadership skills. But we already have that in preferred qualifications. Might be redundant. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe we should not split Required and Preferred into separate sections; combine into Qualifications with two lists labeled. But we need headings only . Could we have a Qualifications
and then inside have Required
and Preferred
? Not sure if allowed. Safer to have just one Qualifications section with two lists, each preceded by a
describing. That would be one section.
Thus:
Qualifications
Required:
...
Preferred:
...
That's okay.
Skills: maybe we can extract communication, mentorship, leadership skills as a separate Skills section. But we already have them in preferred; could be redundant. Might be better to have Skills section listing those.
But we have limited sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. That's six sections. Could add Skills as seventh but risk being thin. However we have concrete skills: communication, mentorship, leadership. That's substantive enough.
Thus include Skills.
Now Benefits: we have specifics.
Pay: we have specifics.
Schedule: we have specifics.
Now we must ensure we don't include any boilerplate like "The salary is subject to availability of funds." That's fine.
We must not include "Rank and salary are determined at the time of hire..." That's part of Pay.
We must not include "Advancement through the faculty ranks..." That's also Pay/Promotion but could be part of Pay.
We must not include "For more information on ranks, please review the Augusta University Promotion and Tenure Website:" That's a link; maybe we can keep as part of Pay? It's a reference. Might be considered substantive? It's a link to more info. Could keep as part of Pay.
But we must not include application instructions, EEO, etc.
Now we need to ensure we preserve all substantive information. Did we miss any? Let's review original text for any other substantive details not captured:
- Job Summary: we captured in About the role.

Also mention "Rank and salary are determined at the time of hire and are based on a variety of factors including but not limited to experience, education, credentials, specialty, training, etc. while also considering internal equity and market data." Also mention "Advancement through the faculty ranks at Augusta University is only through the annual Promotion and Tenure process in which faculty may apply if eligible (typically five-year increments)." Also link to Promotion and Tenure website.
- College/Department Information: we omitted; but is that substantive? It's descriptive of college; maybe not required for job posting but could be considered substantive. However instruction says prefer few substantive sections; we could omit as it's more general info about college. Likely okay to drop.
- About Us: also general.
- Location: we omitted; location is substantive (address). Should we include? The instruction says include section only when posting has real, specific content for it. Location is specific: "Augusta University Our Health Sciences Campus: 1120 15th Street, Augusta, GA 30912". That's substantive. Should we include a Location section? There's no predefined heading for Location in the list of allowed headings (About
