Becoming a professor in SW

[Adelaide9216]

Hello,

what are the requirements to become a social work professor in university (diplomas, years of experience, etc.) I'm trying to look at job postings in Canada and in my city, but it's a bit harder to find.

Thank you,

Looks like you can become a lecturer with a MSW and two years of post-MSW experience. A PhD is required for professorship.

Ok, thank you

Would community/institutional settings hire a clinical social worker with a Ph.D?

Most would not hire a Phd because they would have to pay more! A downside to the Phd for sure!
