About The Position

Northeastern University’s School of Nursing invites applications for multiple full-time, 52-week, non-tenure-track, open-rank clinical faculty positions at the Assistant Clinical Professor, Associate Clinical Professor, or Clinical Professor level. Positions are based at the Boston, Massachusetts campus, with anticipated start dates of July 2027, August 2027, or January 2028. Faculty teach in the undergraduate prelicensure nursing program across didactic, laboratory, simulation, and clinical settings. The School seeks candidates with expertise in one or more priority areas: simulation; mental health or public health; pediatrics; or medical-surgical nursing, including pathophysiology. Faculty are supported through mentoring and university development resources, including the ADVANCE Office of Faculty Development and the Center for Advancing Teaching and Learning Through Research. The role includes teaching undergraduate prelicensure nursing courses; developing and evaluating curriculum aligned with the AACN Essentials and NCLEX-RN test plan; advising and mentoring students; and participating in school, college, and university service. Faculty must be prepared to work with global student populations. Specific teaching and simulation duties depend on the faculty member’s area of expertise. Applicants must have a doctoral degree in nursing or a related field and an MSN by the appointment start date. Candidates without a terminal degree may be considered case by case, with the expectation of completing it within two years of hire. An active, unencumbered North Carolina RN license or multistate Nurse Licensure Compact RN license is required by the appointment start date. Simulation candidates must have CHSE certification or complete INACSL training by that date. Prelicensure nursing education expertise and specialty certification are preferred but not required.
