Duties: The position focuses on teaching primarily in the MSW program, including our online part-time program.

Qualifications: Applicants must possess an MSW and a doctorate in social work or closely related field. The successful candidate will demonstrate a strong research capacity and the potential to generate external research funding. The successful applicant should have at least two years of post-MSW practice experience, preferably clinically focused. Previous teaching experience with online teaching is desired. Evidence of an ability to contribute to the goals of the Georgia State University Strategic Plan (https://strategic.gsu.edu/) and to community engagement and outreach is essential.
School and Campus: The School of Social Work offers dynamic programs in Atlanta, Georgia and has both a strong research driven faculty and a strong, impressive record of external funding. The School is host to the National Center on Grandparents Raising Grandchildren (with Western Michigan University). The School offers the BSW program (in-person & online) and the MSW program (full-time in-person, part-time online, and Advanced Standing in-person & online). Both programs are fully accredited by the Council on Social Work Education through 2028. The School of Social Work is one of five academic units in the Andrew Young School of Policy Studies, which ranks in the top 15% of Public Policy Schools as rated by U.S. News & World Report. The School of Policy Studies also contains the Departments of Criminal Justice & Criminology, Economics, Public Management & Policy, as well as the Urban Studies Institute and several research centers, facilitating strong interdisciplinary research.
With more than 55,000 students, Georgia State University, an enterprising R-1 university located in Atlanta, is a national leader in using innovation that drives student success and fosters research growth. Ranked by U.S. News & World Report’s diversity index as among the most diverse universities in the nation, GSU is a national leader in graduating first generation college students from diverse backgrounds.
