    • Collaborate with CoSW units to formulate annual and long-term faculty hiring plans
    • Ensure compliance with policies and procedures related to faculty recruitment and retention
    • Provide leadership related to personnel matters
    • Conduct exit interviews with faculty members in transition
    • Coordinate promotion and/or tenure and 2-/4- year review processes, in collaboration with Faculty Advancement Promotion and Tenure Committee (FAPTC)
  • Foster a network of supportive resources consistent with faculty excellence
    • Serve as an advocate/ally for faculty
    • Procure and manage resources - financial and otherwise - to promote faculty capacity (including incentive programs, etc.)

    • Cultivate an expansive environment consistent with CoSW's Diversity and Expansion efforts, and tenets outlined in accreditation standards (e.g., SACSCOC, CSWE EPAS, etc.)
As a member of CoSW faculty, this is a 9-month, tenure eligible, open rank position in the Regular Title Series. The University's mission involves three primary functions: instruction, research, and service. Each year, faculty work with the Office of the Dean to delineate their distribution of effort (DOE). This DOE outlines how faculty will spend their time. Of course, the DOE can fluctuate on an array of factors (e.g., clinical funding, new course development, etc.). Excellence in teaching/instruction, advising, professional, University, and public service is expected.
