Social Work 2017-2018

Page for Academic Positions in Social Work that begin in 2018.

Let's do this! Try to stick to a few guidelines when posting to keep things consistent:
 * Post information about the position (or positions) including rank, source of information, and desired specialties.
 * Update when you know if a school has announced or cancelled a search, done preliminary interviews, invited candidates out for job talks, or made offers, even if this information is anecdotal (but please note that it's anecdotal if it is)!
 * Add date of posting to information whenever possible.
 * Please Use "Heading 3" when adding names of schools to this page.

A couple of features of this page, based on additional posts from past years:


 * There are two general sections:


 * Discussion: Post other job search related information here. In the past, topics have included:


 * Tally of number of people checking this page
 * Information about salaries offered relative to cost of living.
 * Information about the number of places people have applied, number of initial interviews received, number of campus visits/job talks, and number of offers.
 * Please feel free to add topics here!


 * List of Schools: Post information about positions, here: FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS ACADEMIC, PLEASE DATE YOUR POSTS!

Teaching Loads

 * When possible can we please add teaching load info to posts?  These are usually known quantities--they are not secret info--and they can matter a lot in terms of sizing up a job.

Timing of Positions

 * When can job seekers expect for the majority of full-time, tenure track positions to be posted?  In other words, is there a popular time when colleges and universities open positions to applicants?
 * A lot depends on the market/year, budgets, retirements, etc. Though, many positions should be posted in September ahead of CSWE. In previous markets, some top ten schools posted as early as June and, in other markets, as late as February or March.

Website Helpfulness

 * In previous years this website was very helpful. People posted information about the jobs rather than simply pasting in an advertisement. We are all academics and should be able to find a job posting. I ask you to consider posting useful information. People pose questions about a university/School/ Department, etc. Consider answering. If you've heard back about a job, let us know.
 * Look back at older wikis (ex: 2013-14) to see how people have been helpful in the past.

Arizona State University (AZ)

Those seeking an Associate level appointment are encouraged to apply to both positions. (8/30/17)

The MSU School of Social Work has both BSW and MSW programs. The School serves around 85 BSW students and 65 MSW students and both programs enjoy active and positive interactions with the local communities. Our MSW program has an advanced generalist specialization. The School is housed in the College of Health and Human Services, which promotes student-centered learning, scholarship, and service to the broader community in all aspects of human health and wellness.

The University is committed to building a culturally diverse educational environment. Successful candidates must be committed to working with diverse student and community populations. Applicants are requested to include in their cover letter information about how they will further this goal.

Missouri State University is centered in Springfield, Missouri, a Midwest city of around 167,000 people. The region features many parks and trails for outdoor activities. It also features a wide array of entertainment opportunities uncommon for a city of its size. Two venues on the MSU campus frequently feature traveling Broadway productions, productions from international performing groups, and concerts from popular and well-known artists. Springfield is also 40 minutes away from scenic Branson, Missouri, which has been called the entertainment capital of the Midwest, featuring a wide variety of family entertainment options.

Missouri State University is the second largest university system in the state of Missouri with over 26,000 students. Academic activities are built upon the MSU Public Affairs Mission, which emphasizes ethical leadership, community engagement, and cultural competence.

Candidates must have a doctorate in social work (ABD with teaching experience may be considered), social welfare, or a related discipline. Candidates must have a MSW degree from a CSWE-accredited program.

 * LINK: https://jobs.uiowa.edu/faculty/view/71473
 * Open Until Filled (posted 8/4/17)
 * I know Position Two (gerontology) is quite active. How about Position One? Anyone heard anything?
 * Scheduled phone interview (11/1) (x2)
 * Scheduled a zoom interview (11/2/17) (x3)
 * Had my interview with Iowa a few days ago - thought it went really well. They said they were going to try and bring candidates out before the holiday break (I am assuming before the december break not thanksgiving break)...Anyone else hear anything different?
 * I was told similarly. They want to have everything wrapped up by the end of the fall semester. I would guess they will do campus visits the first two weeks of December.
 * I heard the same. I am surprised they have not called people yet. Unless anyone else has heard?
 * One campus visit scheduled from Dec. 12-14 but there were two dates available - 12-14 and the 14- 15 (I think). So I am not sure how many people they are bringing out. Also, any word on the search for position 2? I am wondering if they are going to broaden that position if they didn't find a good fit?
 * When did you get the campus visit offer? Good question on the other position. If they found two stellar candidates from this position I don't see why it wouldn't be possible...
 * position 2 is remaining gero focused--visits completed
 * The campus visit offer was extended last week monday (Nov. 20).


 * Has anyone heard if UofI has made offers for either of the positions?
 * Rejected after campus visit (01.04.18).


 * POSITION TWO: The University of Iowa, School of Social Work seeks dynamic candidates for a tenure-track assistant professor position (9-month academic year appointment) beginning in August, 2018. Candidates should demonstrate potential for a strong research agenda in gerontological social work.

 * CSWE Interview request (9/29/17)
 * CSWE interview scheduled (10/6/17) x2
 * Phone interview scheduled (10/31/17)
 * I'm surprised that no one has posted anything about the climate of this school. They have gone through alot of transitions of leadership, budget cuts and faculty leaving. There are other rumors but until substantiated its not public.  I would ask their junior faculty questions about the climate.
 * Thank you for asking about this. I would never want to work there based on what's been going on there in the past few years.


 * I am a junior faculty at KU and felt compelled to respond, particularly for anyone applying and/or interviewing with KU. Although we have had several leadership transitions and some challenges over the last couple of years, I believe this is not uncommon for Schools to go through. All schools face difficulties at times and must figure out how to grow from it and that’s exactly what the KU SSW has done during my time here. What is more important than the struggle is how we respond to the struggle. In the midst of challenging times, my colleagues continued to support each other, worked toward moving our School in a positive direction, and hired a Dean that supports our new mission and vision. I can honestly say that I am still happy and excited to be at KU, with no plans to leave, and I look forward to bringing in new colleagues who can help us continue to grow and become an even brighter and dynamic SSW. If you are interviewing with KU and would like to speak about this in person, please let the search committee know and they will be able to connect you with me or other junior faculty.
 * The types of problems going on here are not common. While the conditions may be imporving, there is a long, steep road ahead. If you are visiting KU, do your research.
 * I wouldn't talk to the search committee about this, they will give you a positive spin on the issues and they cannot talk about the issues candidly.  The dean is still brand new. It would be an challenging situation for someone at the start of their career.

University of Vermont

 * 2 assistant professor positions
 * CSWE link:  https://careers.cswe.org/job/assistant-professor-two-positions/37296099/
 * Does anyone know the story here?  It looks like a small department to have two hires.  I see they also have a listing for a full professor/chair of the department.  I remember them also having a listing last year, though I'm not sure the result of that search.  Does anyone have more information about the department/if department members will be at CSWE?
 * Contacted to attend an Info Session at the CSWE APM (10/17/2017)(x2)
 * Rejection text message sent on 10/20
 * Also received a rejection text - really? This is what schools are doing now?
 * I couldn't believe it either. The text came through right as I was preparing to go into another interview at CSWE, so it was a real bummer.
 * The good news is they sent you something, instead of some schools just never getting back to you - but that is kind of a crappy way to find out. At least with emails you have to load your email and then open the email - so you might have been able to view the email at a later date. I am not really a fan of that style.


 * They said that they are in processing (11.7.2017)
 * Failed all three searches last year due to a member of the search committee. Several faculty have retired or are retiring. Salaries may not be high enough to match high cost of living.
 * Search committee seemed to have tenion and discord.
 * Any update from them ? (11/20/2017) --> scheduled phone interview for week of 11/27 (11/20/2017) x2
 * Scheduled phone interview (after already doing a CSWE info interview) week of 12/4/17

Lots of internal pilot funding and grants support makes getting external grants more possible if you need them to do your work. (10/1/17).
