    Dean, School of Social Work - Portland, United States - Portland State University

    Default job background
    Description

    Established in 1961 by a resolution of the Oregon Legislature, the School of Social Work serves the behavioral health and human services workforce needs of the entire state.

    The PSU School of Social Work ranks in the top 12% of schools of social work by U.S. News & World Report.

    The three major functions of the School are teaching, research, and community service, and the SSW is one of the few schools of social work in the country that houses an interdisciplinary program (Children, Youth, and Family Studies Program).


    The mission of the SSW is: "Rooted in justice, relationship, and community collaboration, PSU SSW advances knowledge and creates social change through teaching, research, practice, and advocacy.

    "


    To pursue its mission, the SSW has two undergraduate academic degree programs: Child, Youth, and Family Studies (CYFS) and Bachelors in Social Work (BSW) and two graduate academic degree programs: a Masters in Social Work (MSW) and Doctor of Philosophy in Social Work and Social Research (PhD).

    The MSW program offers in person classes on its Portland campus and through two distance sites in Eugene and Bend, OR.

    It also offers a #1 ranked Online MSW program.

    The BSW program offers classes on its Portland campus and in its fully online program, the only one of its kind in the Pacific NW.

    The school is in the process of building a fully online Human Services major (fall 2024) that will serve as PSU's use case for Credit for Prior Learning.

    Combined, the SSW prepares more than 1000 students each year to meet the workforce needs of the State of OR.


    The Dean will engage with a multidisciplinary faculty whose research interests span a wide range of areas, with students, and with constituencies both in the academy and in the public sphere.

    As the chief executive and academic officer for the School, the Dean will set the standard for intellectual engagement and accomplishment by providing a strategic vision for and operational leadership of all school programs.


    The Dean will serve as a catalyst to link the work of SSW faculty and students to other disciplines in the academy, and to public and private communities and interests outside of the institution.


    The Dean will help realize the SSW's vision and will function as the School's public voice, promoting initiatives within Portland State, and articulating the School's contributions in local, state, regional, and national arenas.

    The Dean will pursue an aggressive development program to build the School's resources.

    In conducting this work, the Dean will collaborate with the president, provost and vice president for academic affairs, vice presidents, deans, and department chairs at Portland State.

    The Dean will report to the provost and vice president for academic affairs.


    Faculty, Curriculum, and Research:


    The SSW has 55 faculty, including 27 tenure track faculty, 21 non tenure track faculty, 8 research professors, and more than 50 adjuncts in typical years.

    In the last 5-7 years, the SSW has intentionally sought to recruit and retain scholars from historically underrepresented communities. This remains a core commitment of the SSW, as reflected in its mission statement.

    Faculty in the School of Social Work engage in a wide range of research and scholarship. Funded projects include large multi-site studies, national research and training centers, major workforce development initiatives, and community-based evaluations.

    Faculty, students, and researchers in the School of Social Work conduct over $14 million in expenditures for social science research, training, and outreach projects representing approximately 24% of PSU's externally funded sponsored projects.

    Most grant-supported projects are managed within the affiliated research units, the Regional Research Institute for Health Services (RRI) and The Center for Improvement of Children and Family Services (CCF).


    SSW boasts a strong interdisciplinary faculty, reflecting expertise in fields such as social work; early childhood, primary, and secondary education; family studies and human services; cultural studies and queer theory; disability studies; ethnic studies; medicine and public health; law, social policy, and sociology.

    Faculty represent diverse practice expertise such as mental health and healthcare, child welfare, addictions treatment; interpersonal violence; community organizing; suicide prevention; immigration; climate change and foresight thinking; child life; early childhood and elementary education; anti-poverty; and DEI work.

    SSW faculty are recognized thought leaders in critical inquiry, inclusive pedagogy, and innovations in qualitative research, such as consumer-driven and community-based participatory research, intervention research, translational research, and research on pedagogy and workforce development.


    Faculty members are responsible for the editorship of three academic journals, including Affilia, Autism in Adulthood, and Child & Youth Services.

    SSW faculty also place an extremely high priority on their instructional roles, and excellence in teaching is a hallmark across all programs of the School.


    Equity and Inclusion:


    The School of Social Work is committed to equity and inclusion in all of its academic, research, training, professional development, and community program offerings to students, faculty, staff, field instructors, campus partners, and community members.

    Bringing equity and inclusion to the School's activities is an ongoing process that requires continued vigilance, intentional focus, and continuous improvement.


    Dean, School of Social Work Portland State University:


    The Dean will manage about a $10M million budget and will be accountable for the financial well-being of the School.

    In addition, the Dean is expected to actively participate in external fundraising, and will have the experience and temperament required to work effectively in challenging times.


    Directly reporting to the Dean are: the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs; the Assistant Dean for Finance and Administration; the Director of the Center for Improvement of Child & Family Services; the Director of the Regional Research Institute for Human Services; the Marketing and Communications Manager, and the Executive Assistant for the Dean.
