Assistant/ Associate/ Full Teaching Professor

School of Public Policy and Urban Affairs, Northeastern University

The School’s graduate offerings include a NASPAA-accredited Master of Public Administration program founded in 1969 and a growing Master of Public Policy program. Both programs are delivered on Northeastern’s Boston campus and online, and attract a diverse and international student population.

The successful candidate will have demonstrated excellence in teaching that would contribute to our core classes in public administration and public policy, such as public administration theory, policy analysis, public sector leadership, and budgeting. The School especially welcomes candidates whose teaching and research interests would also contribute to our Master’s programs certificates and concentrations, such as non-profit sector management or health care policy and administration.

Teaching faculty positions carry a 3:3 teaching load. The successful candidate will also contribute to student advising and other School service responsibilities.

A few points about this position:

 

1. With recent hires, we have sufficient capacity in areas of economics (broadly defined) and statistics (including data analytics). We are in particular need of full time teaching power in nonprofit management, public and nonprofit leadership, with some needs in health policy and administration.    
2. This position is open rank. Our teaching faculty have full faculty status except on tenure related matters, are eligible for longer term contracts after a short probationary period, and are able to gain promotion to associate and full status if they come in at the assistant teaching professor level. Our teaching faculty tend to have long careers here.
3. Course loads typically are 3-3, with course releases available for specific types of service to the School (e.g., directing the MPA program). Because these are teaching positions, course releases are not granted for research. This said, any research and / or professional development activities are taken into account during merit and promotion reviews.
4. Our MPA and MPP programs are offered both on campus and online, but faculty are in residence in Boston.

  

Review of candidates will start in mid-February, with expectations for campus interviews in March.
