The Ohio State University College of Social Work invites applications for two tenure-track faculty positions (open rank) beginning in Autumn 2021. The dean has charged the search committee with identifying exceptional candidates who contribute to the diversity of the faculty and research conducted at the college. Substantive expertise in mental health practice, poverty and inequality, race and racism, or domestic violence is desirable, but exceptional candidates in other areas may also be considered. Community-engaged research is also valued. Because we would like to continue to build the college’s capacity in research methods, the committee will also consider candidates’ unique expertise in quantitative, qualitative, and technology-based data collection and analysis methods. We seek candidates who are committed to excellence in teaching and mentoring students, particularly diverse student populations and first-generation college students. The college provides innovative teaching options at the BSSW, MSW, and PhD levels, including traditional, online, and hybrid methods.
Successful junior candidates will have a well-defined research agenda, evidence of high-quality scholarship, and a desire to benefit from the many supports and mentorship provided by the college to new faculty. Successful senior faculty candidates will have a track record of scholarly productivity and externally-funded research, as well as evidence of their capacity to become leaders in the development of a shared vision of research, service, and instructional excellence at the college. Successful senior candidates will also be expected to serve as mentors to junior faculty and doctoral students.
The Ohio State University and the College of Social Work recognize that diversity, equity, and inclusion are the foundations of excellence. Because diversity and social justice are central to the mission of the College of Social Work, we encourage applicants whose backgrounds, experiences, knowledge, and talents contribute to an inclusive and productive culture.
