Through this network, we expand opportunities for flexible, student-centered learning and collaborative, solutions-focused research.

About the Opportunity:
The Khoury College of Computer Sciences at Northeastern University invites applications for the position of Director of Computing Programs at our San Francisco and Silicon Valley campuses. The college currently offers the Master of Computer Science and will launch the Master of Data Science in the 2020-2021 academic year. Both of these programs can be pursued by students with undergraduate degrees outside of computing through Align, Northeastern's most innovative and mission driven program (https://www.khoury.northeastern.edu/information-for-overview/prospective-align-pillar/). Through its commitment to Algin, Khoury College aims to close America's tech diversity gap.

Responsibilities:
The Director will work closely with the Dean of Khoury College, the Executive Directory of Khoury College in the Global Network, Directors of other regional campuses, faculty, and a support staff team that will assist with student recruitment, employer relations and resource development. The director will interact with Bay Area campus staff and administration as well as the faculty and staff of other colleges in support of regional programs and goals. The director will act as a primary ambassador for Khoury College in the region, interfacing with industry, philanthropic supporters and strategic partners to build the program's brand and reach. The Director will teach two courses per year and will have the opportunity to recruit full- and part-time faculty at the San Francisco and Silicon Valley campuses.
