Job Summary
THE UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY, COLLEGE OF SOCIAL WORK (CoSW) is a renowned leader in social work

Our mission is clear:
Through rigorous research, excellence in instruction, and steadfast service, the CoSW works to improve the human condition. Always, in all ways.

As the state's flagship university, CoSW is committed to actualizing our mission through innovative, accessible academic programming.

CoSW is home to Bachelor of Arts in Social Work (traditional and online), Master of Social Work (hybrid and online), Doctorate of Social Work (online), and PhD (traditional) degree programs.

In addition to Lexington's main campus, we have a satellite campus at Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio, Texas.


To continue to advance our support infrastructure for CoSW, we invite applicants for 9-month, tenure eligible, open rank positions in the Regular Title Series to begin as early as Fall 2023.


Successful candidates are expected to develop and maintain a dynamic, externally funded research program and strong record of high-impact scholarship (e.g., publications, presentations, etc.).

clinical practice; behavioral health; substance use disorder(s); child welfare; interpersonal violence; health disparities; community engagement; and/or differential system impacts among underrepresented groups.

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 depending 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.

The University of Kentucky offers comprehensive benefits.
