About the Opportunity
The Khoury College of Computer Sciences at Northeastern University invites applications for one or more positions at the rank of Assistant Teaching Professor/Associate Teaching Professor/Full Teaching Professor beginning January 2024 or September 2024 at our campus in Boston, where we offer undergraduate, MS, and PhD programs.

We aim to establish a computing population—students, faculty, researchers, and staff—that reflects today’s global society. Building relationships with students and service to the college and university are integral components of the position.
