The College of Education (COE) and the Florida Center for Reading Research (FCRR) at the Florida State University invite applications for a full or associate professor tenured-position.  The position is expected to start in Fall 2021; however, the start date is negotiable. The position will involve teaching, research, and service within the COE, and will include a joint appointment with FCRR. The successful candidate will have a tenure home in one of three programs within the COE: Reading/Language Arts, Special Education, or Educational Psychology.

The candidate will join a diverse, interdisciplinary group of colleagues and students at COE and FCRR.  Drawing from multiple disciplines, FCRR investigates all aspects of reading and reading-related skills across the lifespan. Through rigorous and robust research, innovation, and engagement, FCRR advances the science of reading to improve learning and achievement from birth through adulthood. Meanwhile, the COE advances society and enriches our community through the support and advocacy of education as a public good, while enhancing the quality of life of all our students, faculty and staff.  Through meaningful collaborations, commitment to public scholarship, and integration of research, practice and policy, the COE addresses America’s urgent education challenges in the innovative manner characteristic of FSU.
