Assistant Teaching Professor/ Associate Teaching Professor/ Full Teaching Professor
About The Position
About the Opportunity The College of Social Sciences and Humanities and its ten tenure units are the home of the Experiential Liberal Arts. Through its research, teaching, and engagement missions, the college collaborates across the university, the Northeastern network, and partners around the globe. Successful faculty in the College of Social Sciences and Humanities will be dynamic and innovative scholars with a record of research and teaching excellence. Strong candidates for this position will have the expertise, knowledge, and skills to build their research, pedagogy, and curriculum in ways that reflect and enhance this commitment. The Department of Economics in the College of Social Sciences and Humanities seeks to fill two (2) full-time non-tenure-track faculty positions at the rank of Assistant Teaching Professor, Associate Teaching Professor, or Full Teaching Professor. The primary teaching responsibility for these positions will be macroeconomics, with a particular emphasis on large sections of Principles of Macroeconomics, a course that plays a central role in the undergraduate curriculum and supports cross-college teaching partnerships. In addition to undergraduate instruction, the department seeks candidates who can also contribute to graduate-level macroeconomics courses, including MS-level macroeconomic theory and, depending on qualifications, PhD-level macroeconomics. Secondary teaching interests that would further strengthen an application include machine learning, computational economics, or data-intensive methods, particularly where these areas complement macroeconomic analysis or modern quantitative approaches. Successful candidates must demonstrate a strong commitment to teaching excellence, the ability to manage large-enrollment courses effectively, and a willingness to contribute meaningfully to both the undergraduate and graduate teaching missions of the department. This is an academic year teaching faculty position with opportunities for promotion through an established track from Assistant Teaching Professor to Associate Teaching Professor to Full Teaching Professor. Reappointment letters are issued prior to July 1 of the applicable year. The appointment will be on Northeastern’s Boston campus.
