The College of Social Sciences and Humanities and its ten tenure units form Northeastern's hub for humanistic and social scientific inquiry, an intellectual community that is human-centered, public-facing, and globally minded. The college's research, teaching, and engagement extend across the university and to governmental and non-governmental bodies, cultural institutions, and industry partners around the world. We seek scholars with a record of excellence in teaching that cultivates critical thinking, ethical reasoning, and independent judgment.
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 field of teaching specialization is open, with preference given to international economics, AI and economics, health economics and environmental economics. In addition to undergraduate instruction, the department seeks candidates who can also contribute to graduate-level courses.
Secondary teaching interests that would further strengthen an application include machine learning, computational economics, or data-intensive methods, particularly where these areas complement modern quantitative approaches.
Successful candidates must demonstrate a strong commitment to teaching excellence, provide evidence of teaching that connects economics to large social questions from multiple viewpoints, and a willingness to contribute meaningfully to both the undergraduate and graduate teaching missions of the department.
