The Position:
The University of Wyoming’s College of Education seeks a distinguished literacy scholar to serve as the Fisher Family Executive Director & Associate/Full Professor, Literacy Research Center & Clinic. This named executive director/professor will join a vibrant, growing faculty and program that is moving toward national prominence in literacy education. The Center seeks an individual who has solid leadership skills, a strong record of scholarship, extensive professional accomplishments, and a history of successful extramural funding.
In addition to a salary commensurate with the status of a high-profile, established scholar, this 12-month, full-time, tenure-track position provides access to an annual budget and discretionary funds to support research and teaching endeavors.
In addition to overseeing the day-to-day operations of the Center, the Executive Director (ED) will provide leadership and work collaboratively with literacy faculty to continue the development of the Center.

The ED also develops and oversees fiscal year budget allocations and supervises the LRCC Office Associate and graduate assistants funded by the Center. The ED will travel extensively within the state to provide professional opportunities for Wyoming schools while establishing and maintaining key partnerships with professionals in public schools and non-governmental organizations.
The Executive Director will join with other named positions in the College of Education (including a named Deanship, two endowed chairs in literacy education, as well as endowed chairs in science education, mathematics education, and early childhood education) to strengthen and expand the impact of literacy education in the College of Education, at the University, within the state, and throughout the nation. The Executive Director will play a leadership role in continuing to develop the LRCC; improving the College’s already excellent undergraduate and master’s programs; further developing a growing doctoral program; expanding opportunities for collaboration among faculty and students; increasing extramural funding and scholarly productivity; expanding outreach to the state and the nation; and continuing to develop a collaborative infrastructure amongst national and international scholars on focused lines of literacy research.
