Assistant Professor of Social Work and Social Research

The Graduate School of Social Work and Social Research (GSSWSR) at Bryn Mawr College invites applications for a full-time, tenure-track Assistant Professor position to start August 1, 2021. We seek a scholar interested in the connection between theory, practice and policy.  Research, practice and teaching interests should also substantively engage issues of social identity, intersectionality, and structural inequality and inequity.  We hope this colleague will also contribute to additional GSSWSR programs, such as initiatives in Trauma Informed Social Work, the Center for Child and Family Wellbeing, and interdisciplinary undergraduate programs in areas such as Health Studies, Child and Family Studies, and Gender and Sexuality Studies. Ideal candidates will have a clearly defined research agenda related to one or more of the following areas: Substance Abuse, Integrated Health, and/or Child Welfare.  The successful candidate will be expected to be part of developing and teaching a diverse and inclusive curriculum, including contributing to college-wide initiatives such as the 360 Program.

This position requires an MSW or MSS and a Ph.D. in Social Work or a related discipline, and two years post-MSW practice experience.  Candidates must have completed all Ph.D. requirements by the start date. To apply for this position, candidates must submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, teaching philosophy, research statement, and statement of demonstrated commitment to diversity and inclusion to the GSSWSR Search Committee via Interfolio at:  https://apply.interfolio.com/78409.  In addition, candidates must arrange for three letters of recommendation to be submitted via Interfolio.  Applications received by November 1, 2020 will receive full consideration.

Recognizing health and safety concerns during this time, the activities for this search will be conducted virtually/remotely.
