Assistant/Associate/Full Teaching Professor - Department of Economics
About The Position
The Department of Economics in Northeastern University’s College of Social Sciences and Humanities seeks to hire two full-time, non-tenure-track faculty members 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. Candidates should be able to teach undergraduate courses and contribute to graduate-level courses. Secondary interests in machine learning, computational economics, or data-intensive methods are also valued, particularly when they complement modern quantitative approaches. Successful candidates will demonstrate a strong commitment to teaching excellence, connect economics to large social questions from multiple viewpoints, and contribute meaningfully to undergraduate and graduate teaching. The academic-year appointment includes opportunities for promotion through an established teaching-faculty track. The position is based at Northeastern’s Boston campus, is benefits-eligible, and is expected to start in mid-August 2027. Applicants should submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, teaching statement, sample syllabi, teaching evaluations, and names 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, highlighting pedagogical innovations, experiential learning, or strategies for teaching a global student population. Applications will be reviewed beginning immediately and accepted until the positions are filled.
