Position Summary:
The Department of Social Work at Metropolitan State University of Denver is seeking applicants for a full-time open rank, tenured or tenure-track (Category I) faculty position to teach primarily in our undergraduate program. Candidates will be able to teach in one or more of the following areas: teaching, practice and/or research about issues of privilege and oppression, social justice (especially racial justice), social inequalities, and/or diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives and/or social work theory, practice, and/or research-related courses. MSU Denver’s Department of Social Work prides itself on a richly talented faculty comprised of teacher-scholars who are highly dedicated and empowered to support diverse students in growing as social work scholars, practitioners, and leaders in the multitude of settings social workers perform.
The Department of Social Work’s mission is to provide an inclusive, inspiring environment for undergraduate, graduate, and community education in social work that is value driven, research informed, culturally responsive, academically rigorous, and which links theory with practice. We are particularly interested in applicants who have experience working with students from diverse backgrounds and a demonstrated commitment to improving access to higher education for under-represented groups.
MSU Denver’s student population consists of nearly 50% first generation students and over 45% students of color. We are a designated Hispanic Serving Institution located in downtown Denver. As the third largest institution of higher education in Colorado and the only one with an open access mission, MSU Denver is a model university for today’s college students. The University serves the most diverse undergraduate student population in the state, as well as the most first-generation students and Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals students. Nearly 80% of MSU Denver students work while attending school, and the University is focused on making sure they have the well-rounded educational experience and wraparound services they need to excel.
MSU Denver aspires to create an equitable learning and working environment in concert with individuals who consistently demonstrate commitment to equity and inclusion. We greatly value the diverse identities and perspectives of our students, faculty, and staff and recognize that in order to achieve a just and equitable society, diversity must go beyond simple representation. It requires critical inquiry, dialogue, and a commitment to action. We strive to provide a culture of belonging for all community members to achieve personal and professional success. Through affordable, flexible, and holistic education, MSU Denver helps students build essential skills grounded in a multicultural and global perspective that lead to undergraduate and graduate degrees, followed by career and life success.
