The Division of Social Work of the West Virginia University Eberly
College of 
Arts and Sciences seeks faculty support for its southern off-campus MSW

program offered in Charleston and Beckley. The position is full-time
non-tenure 
track with the title Clinical Assistant Professor. Such a position
includes a 
combination of teaching, project development, and support for our field
education 
program to advance the mission of the Division of Social Work with
particular 
emphasis on the needs of southern West Virginia.   Successful
candidates must 
have an MSW degree from a CSWE-accredited program and at least five
years of 
post-MSW practice experience.  An earned doctorate in social work or
related 
field is desirable.  Preference will be given to candidates with the
following: 
Teaching experience in social work and knowledge of accreditation
standards 
of the Council on Social Work Education (www.cswe.org); understanding
of social 
work practice in rural environments; and, evidence of the ability to
build 
relationships among various constituencies in the community. Given that
the 
successful candidate will have an office in the state capital, interest
in 
developing projects in collaboration with state agencies, the
legislature, and the 
West Virginia Chapter of NASW is highly desirable. An example of such a
project 
would be organizing student Social Work Day at the Legislature for the
Division
’s students statewide. This is a nine month appointment.
Instructional 
responsibilities include teaching graduate level academic courses up to
14 credit 
hours during the academic year and academic advising of students. The
successful 
candidate will teach primarily in Charleston or Beckley, but may also
be 
expected to teach an occasional course in other MSW program sites
depending on 
expertise of the candidate and program need. Teaching expectations may
require 
the use of interactive video and other distance technologies. The
successful 
applicant will also be responsible for outreach to agencies to
establish and 
maintain field placements for students. He or she will attend monthly
faculty 
meetings on the Morgantown campus and participate as a member of the
MSW 
Admissions and Retention Committee.  

Candidates should send a letter of application addressing areas of
strength for teaching, administrative and project development
experience, a vita, and three letters of reference to Dr. Virginia
