Salary placement depends upon academic preparation and professional experience.
California State University, Fresno is a vibrant and growing campus. When necessary, the University may decide to make more than one faculty appointment from a single search.

Consider joining a dynamic and diverse social work education program in California's urban-rural San Joaquin Valley. The successful candidate is expected to teach courses at both the undergraduate and graduate level in clinical social work practice and integrated behavioral health (e.g., behavioral health, substance use, group practice, and family work) with individuals, families and groups. Specific instructional assignments will depend on departmental needs. Additional responsibilities include curriculum development, advising, and field liaison responsibilities. The successful candidate will develop a research agenda and engage in university and community service activities. The successful candidate will be encouraged to actively participate in research activities that will support the Department's Social Welfare Evaluation, Research and Training Center agenda. Interest or experience in developing and enhancing web-based instruction and a virtual learning environment is expected. Outcomes assessment and service learning are important components of the university curriculum.

The Department of Social Work Education (DSWE) at Fresno State is committed to the education of social worker practitioners at the bachelor's and master's levels who will provide human services and leadership within California's San Joaquin Valley. Graduates of both programs work with individuals, families, human service agencies, and communities. The Department is committed to enhancing the quality of life and challenging social injustice in the San Joaquin Valley. It seeks to empower residents to identify and address local human rights issues and socio-economic inequalities. To fulfill its mission in the region, the DSWE prepares social workers for agency and community-based practice and for informed, active participation as social workers and global citizens who are compassionate and proactive in response to human needs.

Faculty Responsibilities: As educators, scholars, colleagues and community members, faculty have a responsibility to uphold the standards and ethics called upon by the profession. The successful candidate will be expected to teach undergraduate and graduate courses, conduct scholarly and applied research, and advise students while engaging in service at all levels of the university and in the community.

Required Education: An earned doctorate (PhD or DSW) in Social Work/Social Welfare or closely related discipline and an MSW from an accredited social work program are required for appointment. Qualifying degrees must be from an accredited institution or foreign equivalent.
