The School seeks individuals strongly committed to the principles of social and economic justice, to a balanced integration of teaching, scholarship, and service within BSW education, and to curricular development that anticipates emergent practice needs, including the use of technology.

Qualifications:  An MSW plus a minimum of two years post-MSW practice experience and a doctoral degree in social work or a related field are required.  ABD with completion of the doctorate anticipated prior to employment will be considered.  Evidence of scholarly productivity is necessary.  Prior undergraduate teaching experience is highly desirable.  Practice experience and scholarly interest in one of the following fields is also helpful:  mental health, child welfare, aging, and addictions.  The salary is commensurate with qualifications and experience.

Application Procedure:  Please submit letter of interest discussing your educational philosophy, academic strengths, teaching and research interests, and teaching and work experience with historically oppressed populations; a vitae; a copy of a current course syllabus; samples of recent scholarly work (articles, position papers, etc.); and names, addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses of three references.  Review of applications will begin September 15, 2002 and will continue until the position is filled.
