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.

 * LINK: https://jobs.uiowa.edu/faculty/view/71473

 * 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.

 * Review of completed applications will begin on October 23, 2017. Materials received after this date may be considered at the discretion of the University. Faculty from the School of Social Work will be attending CSWE Annual Program Meeting October 19-22 2017.
 * -Request for phone interview 11/1/2017 x5
 * Any sense of the salaries here? Based on public data, lookes like $62-67k for assistant profs.
 * Some in social work look even lower, around 55k. Consistent with below.
 * Confused about where this information is coming from.  Per state reporting, recent assistant profs are making around $55-57k: https://staticweb.maine.edu/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/PUBLICINFO-April-2017.pdf?565a1d  Would love to hear they pay more than this.
 * Any message from them for campus visit (after the screening interview)?
 * Campus visit invite by phone call 11/17/17 (x4)
 * Any idea what the teaching load is here?
 * 3:3, it's 2:3 the first year. (1/7/18)
 * Offer accepted (1/11/18)
 * I know they were hoping to hire multiple people... anyone else accept an offer?
 * Can you share any details of your offer? E.g., salary, per conversation above? (1/12/18)
 * Accepted offer at 60k (admittedly less than I wanted, especially considering the cost of living in Portland) with a course release in the first year and some $$ for moving expenses. I was more concerned about fit and climate/culture than money, and USM seems like a great fit for me, so I decided it was worth going below my desired starting salary. --> Would you be willing to speak to your negotiation points as tips for the rest of us, given that you seem to have negotiated a salary that is a) higher than the current Asst. Prof. salary there, and b) maybe higher than the other hire?  Also interested in hearing about other perks!  Congrats to you both.
 * I have accepted the offer as well around 1/12/18 at low to mid-60s (less than what I wanted as well) but additional summer pay was appealing if I choose to teach. They offered several additional benefits other than salary that was more appealing than other offers I received with higher salaries. Moving expenses were a bonus!

University of Southern Mississippi

 * Got a letter from the Chiar of the Search Committee confirming the application and asking to complete an Affirmative Action form.

University of Tennessee, Knoxville (Nashville satellite campus)

 * Assistant Professor Position
 * Does anyone know if supports for faculty at the Nashville satellite campus are equivalent to those at the main campus in Knoxville? And do faculty at the Nashville campus feel connected to those at the Knoxville campus? (9/28)
 * Yes, current TT faculty in Nashville here. The supports provided to the Nashville faculty are the same as those in Knoxville. We consider ourselves one faculty that are located at two different campuses. Our dean comes to meet with us regularly and the faculty will travel to Knoxville or Nashville to meet together for faculty meetings. I should also note that the Nashville facutly are the most friendly and supportive group of colleagues one could request. The mythical culture where doors are open and ideas are flying around from office to office is a reality here.
 * This response was incredibly helpful.  Thank you!

 * It seems the system is no longer accepting applications.
 * I saw this too.  Does anyone know if they've started contacting folks?  It seems like the time frame these jobs were posted is odd (e.g., Dec, 2016 - Aug, 2017).  Perhaps this was due to the hiring freeze in TX late last year but I'm not sure...


 * Has anyone heard anything about their applications?
 * I haven't heard anything-- but I would be shocked if they hadn't started campus visits by now.

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.

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).


 * Anyone heard anything?  My references were contacted to provide letters and i was asked to submit writing samples  [same here 10/12 x4] (I believe that the application system automatically generates requests to letter writers and the application requires writing samples, so I'm not sure those are signs that they've started reviewing applications.)
