Description

New York University’s Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development invites applications for a continuing contract (non-tenure track) Clinical Assistant Professor in Educational Communication and Technology (ECT) to begin on September 1, 2025. The appointed faculty member will be a member of the Department of Administration, Leadership and Technology (ALT).

 

The ECT programs include three graduate programs: an MA in Learning Technology and Experience Design (LTXD), an MS in Games for Learning (G4L), and a PhD in Educational Communication and Technology (ECT), as well as a planned undergraduate minor. Each program integrates cognitive and learning sciences, along with learning theory, to prepare students in the design, implementation and/or evaluation of educational tools across diverse settings, including K–12 schools, universities, workplaces, museums, nonprofits, and international educational contexts. Our programs are distinctive for their comprehensive focus on both design and research, as well as our commitment to experiential and project-based learning.

 

We seek applicants who are, above all, passionate about the field and bring strong teaching skills and experience. Additionally, candidates should demonstrate expertise, through professional experience and/or scholarly work, in one or more of the following areas: learning/cognitive science, learning experience design, emerging technologies and artificial intelligence (AI).

 

NYU Steinhardt is a uniquely interdisciplinary school, committed to a holistic understanding of people and human development across the lifespan. NYU Steinhardt has a one-of-a-kind integration of education, communication, health, and the arts, with eleven departments, seventeen research centers and institutes, nearly 300 full-time faculty and close to six thousand students. We are committed to substantially increasing the proportion of our faculty from historically underrepresented groups as we strive to create the most intellectually diverse, inclusive, and equitable institution that we can.

 

Responsibilities: The successful candidate will be an excellent teacher, advisor, and mentor to graduate and undergraduate students; participate in program and curricular development; and serve on program, department, School, and University committees. Clinical Faculty may also engage in scholarly work or creative production.  The teaching load for this position is six (6) 3-point to 4-point courses, or their equivalent: three (3) each semester, Spring and Fall. Course load may be adjusted for administrative and related/equivalent duties.

 

NYU's dynamic Global Network University includes NYU Abu Dhabi, NYU Shanghai, and international programs and academic centers around the world. If interested, NYU Steinhardt faculty may have the opportunity to engage in teaching at these global sites.
