This position, which is Boston-based, will start on or before July 1, 2019, subject to the selected candidate's availability.

Simmons University is a small, highly collegial and dynamic university located in the heart of Boston's world-renowned Longwood Medical Area. Simmons is comprised of an undergraduate liberal arts education program for women plus professional graduate schools with masters and doctoral programs for men and women, presenting unique and rich opportunities for interdisciplinary research and collaboration. The SSW offers degrees at the Bachelor's, Master's, and Doctoral levels (BSW, MSW, PhD). The MSW degree is offered through both our traditional campus-based program and via our innovative online platform, SocialWork@Simmons (SW@S). The MSW program offers a number of specialty certificates, including Urban Leadership, Social Work and Healthcare, Trauma, and School Social Work Licensure. The Doctoral Program leads to the PhD degree with an emphasis on practice scholarship and research. Areas of current SSW faculty expertise include: dynamics of diversity, family and intimate partner violence, immigration, health and health policy, health disparities, aging, behavioral health, substance abuse, and social policy.

We seek candidates who have experience and scholarly expertise relevant to the needs of culturally diverse and oppressed populations and who have a commitment to social justice and to addressing societal inequities. Candidates should be prepared to teach across both platforms of the MSW program. Preference will be given to candidates with experience teaching research and program evaluation; those with research interests in areas that inform clinical social work practice are encouraged to apply.
