About The Position

Northeastern University’s Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies (WGSS) Program in the College of Social Sciences and Humanities seeks a non-tenure-track teaching faculty member at the Assistant Teaching Professor, Associate Teaching Professor, or Full Teaching Professor level. The successful candidate will teach within gender studies, with allied expertise in areas such as women’s studies, cultural studies, feminist studies, digital feminisms, queer theory, history, gender and medicine, and/or history of science. Priority will be given to candidates able to teach in more than one of these areas. This is a full-time, benefits-eligible academic-year position on Northeastern’s Boston campus, with an expected start date of August 16, 2027. The role offers opportunities for promotion through an established teaching faculty track from Assistant Teaching Professor to Associate Teaching Professor to Full Teaching Professor. Reappointment letters are issued before July 1 of the applicable year. The position carries a teaching load of six courses per academic year, three per semester. Courses include Introduction to Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies; Sex, Gender, and Pop Culture; and one or more additional undergraduate or graduate electives. Professional development and department service are also expected. Applicants must have a Ph.D. in WGSS or a related field by the appointment start date. The successful candidate will have a strong teaching record in gender studies, cultural studies, and one or more allied areas. A robust research agenda is desirable but not essential because this is primarily a teaching position. Candidates for Associate or Full Teaching Professor should already hold the corresponding rank or have comparable experience.
