Binghamton University, consistently ranked among the top public universities in the nation, is seeking tenure track faculty members (at the rank of Assistant or Associate), to be part of its Department of Social Work. The Department includes both a long-standing in-person MSW program and a growing exclusively online program, as well as a burgeoning BSW program. 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 and Policy, Social Work, Higher Education and Student Affairs, 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.

The Department of Social Work is seeking scholar-educators whose work supports evidence-based, ethically-sound social work practice and aligns with current federal priorities in behavioral health, child welfare, and community well-being. The successful candidate will be expected to employ an inclusive, competency-based pedagogy to teach two courses per semester across our BSW, in-person MSW, and online asynchronous MSW programs as well as have opportunities to work with doctoral students.

Successful candidates will also focus on sustaining an externally-funded research program with strong potential for support from NIH, HRSA, ACF, DoD, and foundations or similar agencies. Scholars are expected to collaborate with internal colleagues, in addition to regional agencies and interdisciplinary CCPA partners to expand the academic reach of the Department, College, and University. Lastly, successful candidates will contribute to CSWE accreditation, Title IX, and other federal/state compliance processes.

All faculty enjoy start-up support, competitive salaries, and the opportunity to work in a public R1 environment that values innovation and community impact.
