Tenure-Track Assistant Professor Position

The University of Pennsylvania's School of Social Policy & Practice (SP2) invites applications for a tenure track assistant professor position that will begin July 1, 2021.

This is an open position, and we welcome candidates from different disciplines whose research and scholarship relate to our three main areas of interest: Social Work, Nonprofit Leadership, and Social Policy. We offer three master's degrees: Social Work (MSW), Nonprofit Leadership (MS), Social Policy (MS), as well as a doctorate in Social Work (DSW) and a Ph.D. in Social Welfare. Advancing social justice is a core component of the School's vision and mission.

For Social Work, we seek scholars who combine practice experience with strong records of scholarship in areas of clinical practice with marginalized communities. Candidates for the MSW faculty position must possess a doctorate, an MSW and at least two years of post-MSW practice experience.

For Nonprofit Leadership and Social Policy, we encourage applications from scholars who have a PhD and who have strong quantitative skills and are able to teach across at least two programs of our three areas of interest.

Many opportunities for collaboration exist within the Penn academic community and with health, educational, social service, nonprofit, and government organizations regionally, nationally, and globally.

In your application, please provide the following to sp2-applications@sp2.upenn.edu:
  • Curriculum Vitae
  • A cover letter that should include:
    o. A personal statement
    o. Your teaching philosophy, including the courses that you could teach in our programs
  • A statement of your commitment to diversity and inclusion, particularly addressing how this influences your teaching research, teaching, and/or service
  • Three samples of scholarly writing
  • Three letters of reference

    Formal review of applicants will begin immediately and will continue until the position is filled.

    • Organization

    Welcome to the University of Pennsylvania! Penn is the largest private employer in Philadelphia and is a world-renowned leader in education, research, and innovation.  

    Across our 12 highly-regarded schools, more than 25,000 students, and more than 4,000 faculty members, we become one university: a wide-ranging, ever-changing community that draws its strength from a multitude of races, ethnicities, genders, sexual orientations, historical traditions, ages, religions, disabilities, veteran status, interests, perspectives, and socioeconomic backgrounds. 

    Penn carries on the principles and spirit of its founder, Benjamin Franklin: entrepreneurship, innovation, invention, outreach, and a pragmatic love of knowledge. Franklin's practical outlook has remained a driving force in the university's development. To learn more, visit About Penn. 

    Vision

     

    As engines of knowledge and new ideas, universities have the unique potential to define the future rather than be defined by it; to pioneer change rather than merely manage it. To do so requires a plan both visionary and pragmatic. The Penn Compact 2022 motivates community members to innovate, be radically inclusive, and positively impact their local, national, and global communities. 

     

    Penn’s fundamental priorities — increasing access, integrating knowledge and engaging locally, nationally and globally — are supported by the three core values that make us uniquely Penn: inclusion, innovation, and impact. 

     

    Learn about the signature initiatives of the Penn Compact 2022:  

     

    Diversity 

     

    Understanding and appreciating diversity is one of Penn's most important priorities and is fundamental to success in today's world. 

     

    Penn adheres to a policy that prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, creed, national or ethnic origin, citizenship status, age, disability, veteran status, or any other legally protected class.
