ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY

Northeastern University’s Multidisciplinary Graduate Engineering (MGEN) unit invites applicants, committed to teaching excellence, for the role of Assistant/Associate/Full Teaching Professor (a non-Tenure-Track faculty position) in Vancouver, Canada. 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 role prioritizes building strong connections with students and contributing to the college and university through service.
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 over time, and believe software is a systems engineering challenge rather than a coding problem.
