About the Opportunity

Northeastern University's Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering seeks outstanding candidates for the position of Assistant/Associate/Full Teaching Professor with a focus on Data Science. This is a full-time, benefits-eligible, non-tenure-track position.

Appointments are made on an annual 8-month basis, with salary commensurate with experience. The position of Assistant/Associate/Full Teaching Professor entails educational interaction with students in roles including, but not limited to, traditional instruction (lecture courses, lab courses), project team advising, and student organization advising. The main responsibility of this position is teaching classes that make up the master's program in Data Science, such as classes on algorithm design, data processing, machine learning, data mining and data visualization. The annual teaching course load is six courses, with the potential for teaching more than one section of a course in the same semester, over Fall and Spring semesters. Courses may be at both the undergraduate and graduate levels.

Teaching professors are also encouraged to pursue scholarly research on both educational and pedagogical topics, as well as in their technical area of expertise, and have the opportunity to supervise graduate students.

Teaching responsibilities are subject to modification based on the programs' needs based upon time commitment of the service requirements and require a willingness to support high-quality teaching and standards through preparation of lectures based on course materials provided; effective facilitation of rich, respectful debates and discussions in an in-person or hybrid class; timely review and grading of assignments with appropriate coaching and feedback to the students; consistent connection with students and their performance; adherence to Northeastern's policies.

A PhD in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or Computer Science, with teaching experience, is required by appointment start date. Candidates should have experience with a range of Data Science subareas, which may include algorithm design, data processing, machine learning, data mining and data visualization. At least 2 years' experience in teaching at the college/university level is recommended. Excellent written and oral communication skills are required.

Please include with your application documents a cover letter; curriculum vitae; Statement of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging; Teaching Statement & Philosophy; and three letters of reference. Instructions for the statements are included below.

Statement of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging: Please provide a statement of your commitment and/or contribution(s) that describes your past experience, activities, and/or future plans to advance diversity, equity, inclusion, and the value proposition of belonging in your teaching, research, and service. Your statement should demonstrate an understanding of the barriers facing marginalized communities in your field/community and be in alignment with both Northeastern's mission and BEYOND 2025: The Academic Plan Paragraph 4.1 A Magnet for Diversity, and a Place of Belonging. A more developed and substantial plan is expected for senior candidates.

Teaching Statement & Philosophy: Statement of Teaching Interests & Philosophy: Please summarize your past instructional and mentorship expertise, your pedagogical philosophy, your plans/goals for teaching (including existing and proposed courses), and your strategies for teaching and mentoring a diverse cohort of undergraduate and graduate students.
