About The Position

The Tufts University School of Medicine's Department of Rehabilitation Sciences invites applications for one full-time, 12-month non-tenure faculty appointment for Tufts University’s hybrid Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) Program - Atlanta.

Candidates will join a collaborative faculty team with a strong foundation in hybrid education, a cohesive culture of collegiality and support, and a shared commitment to innovation and student success. This seven-semester DPT program is a blend of online and on-campus activities, which allows the faculty member to live remote to the campus.
