POSITION DETAILS

The School of Social Work at Sacramento State is one of the largest accredited social work programs in California. Our faculty and staff are dedicated to training a highly diverse study body to prepare the next generation of social work professionals for our region, and beyond. The School prepares ethical and competent generalists and specialized social workers who can both lead and serve our rich and intersectionally diverse communities in the development and delivery of psychosocial and clinical services that contribute to human wellbeing and social justice.

We offer a Bachelor of Arts in Social Work (BASW) for generalist practice. For the Master of Social Work degree, we offer three pathways: a traditional two-year program, an extended part-time (three-year) program, and an Advanced Standing (one-year) program for those who hold an accredited BASW degree (within 5 years of application). MASW students specialize in one of three areas: behavioral health; health and aging; or practice with children and families. We also offer a training program for those wanting to commit to a career in child welfare (Title IV-E program).

Subject Area Needs

• Generalist practice (BASW or MASW)
• Advanced graduate-level practice in behavioral health, health & aging, or children and families
• Field (practicum) supervision
• Macro practice, including administration, supervision, community organizing, and policy practice
• Advocacy
• Program evaluation and grant writing
• Psychodiagnosing (using DSM-5-TR), substance use disorders, forensics
• Statistics
• Social science research methodologies, including experimental (quantitative) methods and qualitative traditions
• Social science and critical theories, in particular human behavior and the social environment (HBSE)
• Cultural diversity, social justice, power/privilege/oppression
• Practice with specialty populations (e.g., Veterans, LGBTQ+ communities, international settings, gerontology, neurocognitive and developmental disabilities)

Courses occur throughout the entire work week and (all day) weekends. They may be during day or evenings. Courses are most often in-person or may be less frequently offered on‑line.

DUTIES

Duties of a part‑time lecturer include instruction, class preparation, grading, and office hours. Other duties may be assigned based on departmental needs. Course assignments, including dates, time, and modality, are made by the Department Chair under the direction of the College Dean.

APPOINTMENT

Part‑time lecturers are instructional faculty with conditional appointments based on enrollment and budget. Hires from the pool of applicants are made when there are instructional needs to fill coursework offered by an academic department based on changing enrollment patterns, changes to tenure‑track faculty assignments, and other factors that cannot be addressed with our existing faculty. Initial appointments are typically for one semester, but occasionally academic year initial appointments are made. Appointments may be renewed based on department needs, funding, and performance. Often appointments are made just prior to the start of the semester.

RANK AND SALARY

Initial rank and salary for lecturer faculty are based on professional experience and educational background and are determined by the hiring department. Most new lecturers are hired at Lecturer A or B rank. As of July 2024, the classification salary ranges for the respective ranks are based on a “full‑time rate” (15 weighted teaching units). A semester’s worth of compensation is made up of six (6) payments of the given amount. To calculate your salary for a semester, the base rate would be pro‑rated based on the units worked out of 15 WTUs.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• For most courses: A Master of Social Work (MSW) or an equivalent graduate degree in social work or a closely related field, such as MSSW, MA/AM in Social Work or Social Welfare, other relevant graduate degrees (MA/MS in Sociology, Economics, Psychology, Public Health, or Feminist Studies), and a minimum of two years of post‑MSW professional practice experience.
• For select undergraduate practice or field seminar courses: A Bachelor of Social Work (BSW), and a minimum of five years of post‑BSW relevant practice experience. Applicants with only a BSW should clearly address this in their cover letter.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Having at least five years of post‑MSW professional practice experience, especially relevant for teaching graduate‑level practice courses.
• Holds a license or credentials such as:
  • Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the State of California from the BBS, or a comparable independent clinical social work license from another state
  • Pupil Personnel Services Credential (PPSC) in California
  • National Association of Social Workers (NASW) credentials (e.g., ACSW, DCSW)
  • Board Certified Diplomate (BCD) or similar from a recognized credentialing body
