Education: Must possess an MSW from a CSWE accredited program. PhD or DSW preferred.

Experience: Must have a minimum of five years post-MSW professional social work experience; must have knowledge of CSWE Standards; and must have a minimum of two years of social work teaching experience.

Skills: Preferred experience teaching clinical theory and research-related courses in a graduate program. Emphasis on diversity, equity and inclusion (DEi), trauma-related practice, and trauma-informed classrooms is a priority.
