The University at Buffalo is a research-extensive university and a member of the prestigious American Association of Universities. At the University at Buffalo (UB) are the internationally known Center of Excellence in Bioinformatics and Life Sciences and the Clinical Translational Science Institute. As an urban public research university, UB is the largest institution within the State University of New York (SUNY) system and one of two flagship campuses.

The School of Social Work offers a master’s degree and two doctoral degrees. Nationally ranked within the top 25 accredited social work programs, we enroll over 600 students and offer the MSW degree, online MSW degree, PhD degree, online DSW degree, and BA/MSW, JD/MSW, MBA/MSW, MPH/MSW and MSW/PhD combined degree programs. The MSW and DSW programs have unique and exciting curricula that integrate our trauma-informed care and human rights perspective. The School of Social Work’s Racial Justice Network is a cooperative, pluralist approach to cultivating racial equity in the school’s academic programs, research agendas, administrative policies, and informal culture. The Buffalo Center for Social Research (BCSR) is housed within the School of Social Work and provides faculty support in pursuing external funding. The BCSR is also home to the Institute on Trauma and Trauma-Informed Care, Behavioral Health Clinic, Immigrant and Refugee Research Institute, Institute for Sustainable Global Engagement, Institute for Healthy Engagement and Resiliency with Technology, as well as the UB/Amrita Social and Behavioral Sciences Research Institute. We have several unique partnerships with the School of Management related to social innovation in the nonprofit and business sectors, including our Social Impact Fellows Program. The School of Social Work embraces the broad diversity of its faculty, staff, and students. We are looking to hire faculty who represent a variety of social identities that have historically been underrepresented in higher education, and whose research, teaching, and service experiences help enliven our vibrant and inclusive community.
