Assistant/Associate Teaching Professor, Marine Biology

About the role

The Department of Marine and Environmental Sciences at Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts invites applications from qualified candidates for a full-time, non-tenure track teaching faculty position with an anticipated start date of September 2026. The faculty member will teach courses that serve both our BS and MS degrees in Environmental and Sustainability Sciences, Ecology & Evolutionary Biology, and Marine Biology as well as students from other programs (e.g., Biology) interested in Marine and Environmental Sciences. Marine Biology and either New England Marine Biomes or Experimental Design will be primary course assignments. Potential additional courses include Science Communication or Food Security and Sustainability and/or experiential or capstone courses as determined by the Chair of the Department of Marine and Environmental Sciences. We seek broadly trained candidates with expertise in marine biology, ecology, evolutionary biology, experimental design, and data analysis, although successful candidates could also have a background in conservation, sustainability sciences, or related fields. Candidates must demonstrate experience teaching in their area of expertise. Candidates who can leverage their prior experience with government, industry, or non-profit organizations to enhance experiential learning opportunities for students are strongly encouraged to apply. Given the range of our curriculum, we seek candidates that can offer field trips as part of the curriculum. Applicants who have experience teaching or conducting research with the R programming language are encouraged to highlight that in their application, but this is not a necessary qualification.
