This 9-month position at the rank of instructor or teaching assistant professor has a preferred starting date of August 2025, with competitive salary commensurate with qualifications and experience.
The Early Childhood Education program offers a range of academic options at both the graduate and undergraduate levels. At the undergraduate level, the program combines early childhood education and early childhood special education into one blended bachelor’s degree program.

In cooperation with the College of Education, learners in the teacher licensure path who complete the full degree requirements are eligible to apply for a Kansas teaching license in early childhood unified (birth through kindergarten). Learners in the non-licensure track pursue careers as early childhood administrators, child care licensing agents, classroom educators, and training and technical assistance specialists.

Faculty in the program are working on a new strategic plan to meet the dynamic needs of the workforce. The position will be able to help contribute to this vision.
The College of Health and Human Sciences inspires and prepares passionate and caring individuals for a meaningful life and a career that promotes human well-being in the areas of business, design, teacher education, human behavior, and health sciences.
