Job Description:

Binghamton University, consistently ranked among the top public universities in the nation, seeks two tenure track faculty members (one at the rank of Assistant, one either Assistant or Associate), to be part of its growing Department of Social Work, which includes both an MSW (face-to-face and a new online program) and growing BSW program. Binghamton University is a world-class institution with more than 130 broadly interdisciplinary educational programs led by researchers respected around the world. Binghamton merges rigorous academics, distinguished faculty and state-of-the-art facilities to engage and challenge its 18,000+ students.

The successful candidates will join a dynamic, creative team of cutting-edge scholars and educators, who are committed to preparing students for multi-level social work practice grounded in social justice principles. The ideal candidate will be able to teach macro-level practice courses across programs (BSW, MSW) in generalist and advanced generalist social work. The typical teaching load is two courses per semester. This position also carries the additional expectations of service, as well as a demonstrated commitment to an active research agenda.

The Department of Social Work is part of Binghamton University's College of Community and Public Affairs (CCPA). CCPA is composed of five departments: Human Development, Public Administration, Social Work, Student Affairs Administration, and Teaching, Learning, and Educational Leadership, as well as an interdisciplinary doctoral program in Community Research and Action, all of which prepare students for community-building professions. CCPA is located in the heart of the city of Binghamton, in close proximity to local agencies with which faculty frequently partner.
