Job Description:
Department Overview:
The Department of Social Work is entering an exciting period of
growth and innovation. In addition to expanding its Bachelor of
Social Work (BSW) and Master of Social Work (MSW) programs, the
Department is actively developing a PhD program in Social Work,
creating new opportunities for faculty leadership in doctoral
education, research mentorship, interdisciplinary collaboration,
and the advancement of the social work profession. The development
of the PhD program reflects both the Department's growth and
Binghamton University's broader commitment to expanding high-impact
graduate and doctoral education within its R1 research
environment.
The Department is part of College of Community and Public Affairs
(CCPA), an interdisciplinary college focused on preparing students
for careers and leadership in public and community service. CCPA
brings together Social Work, Human Development, Public
Administration and Policy, Higher Education and Student Affairs,
and Teaching, Learning and Educational Leadership, alongside the
interdisciplinary Community Research and Action PhD program. The
College emphasizes social justice, interdisciplinary collaboration,
applied scholarship, and meaningful engagement with local,
regional, national, and global communities. Located in downtown
Binghamton, CCPA is closely connected to a broad network of
community agencies, schools, health and human service
organizations, government entities, and nonprofit partners.
The Department offers a growing BSW program, a long-standing
in-person MSW program, and an exclusively online MSW program,
including full-time, part-time, and advanced standing pathways. The
Department's programs are grounded in social justice, multisystem
practice, community engagement, and a commitment to preparing
social workers to address complex social problems across
individuals, families, organizations, and communities.
Both the Department and CCPA value applied, community-engaged
scholarship that generates knowledge while contributing to
meaningful improvements in the lives of individuals, families,
organizations, and communities. Faculty collaborate extensively
with colleagues across the University as well as with regional
agencies, health and human service organizations, schools,
nonprofit organizations, and government partners. Faculty members
contribute to the intellectual and professional life of the
Department through teaching, research, advising and mentoring,
service, community engagement, and participation in program
development and accreditation activities.
