The School of Social Work at Wayne State University invites applications for a faculty position at the rank of Assistant or Associate Professor to begin August 2018. We are recruiting outstanding candidates with expertise in the areas of interpersonal practice and mental/behavioral health. We are particularly interested in a strong clinical scholar whose teaching interests are compatible with the organization of our MSW advanced year curriculum, which is divided into three tracks: psychodynamic, family systems, and cognitive-behavioral. Additionally, we seek candidates with a particular interest in health equity or behavioral health equity whose research and teaching demonstrate knowledge about and attention to urban, poor or vulnerable populations and/or dimensions of the clinical process or of clinical outcomes with these same populations.

Candidates must have a doctorate in social work, social welfare or a related discipline, a master's degree in social work, a minimum of two years' supervised post-master's direct (clinical) practice experience, as well as a strong commitment to research, teaching and service. Evidence of a beginning research trajectory, potential for external funding and some teaching experience is desirable at the Assistant Professor rank. Appointment at the rank of Associate Professor with tenure requires a strong record of research, external funding, publications, teaching and service.
