Position Summary: The Department of Communication at Villanova University seeks applicants for an up to three-year Director of American Sign Language at the rank of Assistant Instructor or Assistant Teaching Professor, to begin Fall 2025. Upon successful evaluation in the first year, this position may be renewed for two additional years. The position will require teaching two undergraduate courses per semester and administering the ASL program.

In addition, the Department supports an M.A. program in Communication. Our faculty prides itself on excellence in teaching and research and seeks to cultivate a supportive, collegial work environment.

Villanova is a Catholic university sponsored by the Augustinian Order. Diversity and inclusion have been and will continue to be an integral component of Villanova University’s mission. The University is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action employer and seeks candidates who understand, respect and can contribute to the University’s mission and values.
