Assistant/Associate/Full Teaching Professor - Multidisciplinary Graduate Engineering - Miami

About the Opportunity

Northeastern University’s Multidisciplinary Graduate Engineering (MGEN) unit seeks highly motivated applicants, committed to teaching excellence, for the role of Assistant/Associate/Full Teaching Professor (a non-Tenure-Track faculty position) in Miami with general areas of focus in Application Engineering & Development, Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning platforms, Blockchain, Cloud Computing, Software Engineering, as well as Data Architecture & Engineering. In this role, the Teaching Faculty will report directly to the MGEN Executive Program Director. The selected candidate is expected to teach, advise, as well as identify new and industry trending subjects for curriculum advancement.

The MGEN unit seeks to produce more effective software engineers who are substantially more capable than ever of addressing the needs of digital society in terms of time, cost, and quality. The unit will accomplish this by revolutionizing the way software is designed and evolved overtime, and believe software is a systems engineering challenge rather than a coding problem.

Candidates should be committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive environment as well as to promoting experiential learning. The MGEN unit at Northeastern University is committed to equal opportunity, affirmative action, diversity, and social justice while building a climate of inclusion on and beyond campus.
