About The Position

Texas A&M University–Central Texas’s Social Work Program in the College of Arts and Sciences seeks adjunct instructors to teach undergraduate courses in its CSWE-accredited Bachelor of Social Work program. Teaching assignments are made semester by semester and may occur in the fall, spring, or summer. Courses may be taught in person, hybrid, or online, including practice courses. Adjunct instructors are primarily responsible for the teaching and learning process and are hired on a temporary, part-time basis.

Successful candidates are expected to bring enthusiasm and experience in teaching and mentoring undergraduate students, promote social justice and professional values, and teach practice-based curriculum aligned with CSWE competencies and the NASW Code of Ethics. Applicants must be authorized to work for any U.S. employer. The university states that it will not pay the $100,000 fee for new H-1B petitions described in the posting and notes that a Texas moratorium on new petitions may affect its ability to employ candidates requiring visa sponsorship.

Applicants should submit a curriculum vitae, teaching philosophy statement, undergraduate and graduate transcripts, and either contact information for three professional references or three letters of recommendation. Proof of active social work licensure is strongly encouraged but not required in the application attachments. All positions are security-sensitive; applicants are subject to a criminal history investigation, and employment is contingent on verification of credentials and other required information.
