Who We Are
Located in the heart of Virginia's beautiful Shenandoah Valley, the
city of Harrisonburg is approximately 120 miles from Washington,
D.C. and Richmond, VA. With a population of just over 53,000,
Harrisonburg is one of the most diverse communities in the
Commonwealth of Virginia. JMU is a selective, public institution
with a growing national reputation for offering experiences that
lead to an outstanding education and inclusive environment for
students, faculty and staff. The student body includes
approximately 20,000 undergraduate and 1,900 graduate students,
with over 1,000 full-time instructional faculty.
JMU offers thriving programs in the liberal arts, science and
technology, and professional disciplines at the undergraduate,
master's and doctoral levels. The university is committed to
expanding diversity, fostering equity and inclusion, and supporting
superlative teaching and scholarship. JMU has achieved national
recognition for the high quality of its academic programs, focus on
maintaining strong student/faculty interaction, and innovative
faculty research.
General Information
JMU invites applications for two tenure-track positions at the
Assistant Professor rank in the Department of Social Work in the
College of Health and Behavioral Studies (CHBS).
The Department of Social Work offers a Bachelor of Social Work
degree which is fully accredited by the Council on Social Work
Education. The Department is a thriving academic unit that also
offers two interdisciplinary minors: Nonprofit Studies and Family
Studies (which has dual foci in family ecology and gerontology),
and offers multiple interprofessional educational (IPE)
opportunities. The Department and College also collaborate with the
Department of Justice Studies and College of Arts and Letters on a
minor in Youth Justice and a new Innovation Center for Youth
Justice.
Currently commemorating our 60th anniversary, the BSW program has a
long history of excellence, leadership in social work education,
and continuous national accreditation. We are a student-centered
department that values open interactions between students and
faculty. We are a diverse faculty with a strong commitment to
respectful and supportive collegiality.
The Social Work Department is situated in JMU's College of Health

undertaking efforts to identify and dismantle oppressive racist and
discriminatory policies, practices, and processes while advancing
inclusive excellence and promoting a CHBS culture in which every
member can flourish. We are especially interested in qualified
candidates with a demonstrated commitment towards building
equitable and inclusive environments. Join us in achieving our goal
of continuing to grow as a diverse college that embodies an
atmosphere of belonging.
