West  Virginia University 
Faculty  Position 

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 and 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 closely related field is preferred. 
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  academic year appointment (August 16-May 15) with

potential for a supplementary  summer contract depending on program
need. 
Instructional responsibilities  include teaching graduate level
academic courses and 
academic advising of  graduate 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 Majewski, Division of
Social Work, 
West  Virginia University, P.O. Box  6830, Morgantown, WV, 26506-6830.
