About The Position

The Department of Economics in Northeastern University’s College of Social Sciences and Humanities seeks to fill two full-time, non-tenure-track faculty positions at the rank of Assistant Teaching Professor, Associate Teaching Professor, or Full Teaching Professor. The teaching specialization is open, with preference for international economics, AI and economics, health economics, and environmental economics. The department also seeks candidates who can contribute to graduate-level courses in addition to undergraduate instruction. Secondary teaching interests that complement modern quantitative approaches include machine learning, computational economics, and data-intensive methods. Successful candidates will demonstrate a strong commitment to teaching excellence and provide evidence of teaching that connects economics to large social questions from multiple viewpoints. They will contribute meaningfully to the department’s undergraduate and graduate teaching missions. This academic-year position is based on Northeastern’s Boston campus, is benefits-eligible, and is expected to begin in mid-August 2027. The position offers an established promotion track from Assistant Teaching Professor to Associate Teaching Professor to Full Teaching Professor. The teaching load is six courses for the academic year. Student advising, professional development, and service activities are also expected. Applicants should submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, teaching statement, sample syllabi, teaching evaluations, and contact information for at least three professional references. The teaching statement should describe instructional and mentorship experience, pedagogical philosophy, and courses the applicant would like to teach at Northeastern, including relevant pedagogical innovations, experiential learning, or strategies for teaching a global student population. Applications will be reviewed immediately and accepted until the positions are filled.
