About the Opportunity:

Position Dates: July-December 2021

The N.U.in Program is a unique opportunity for first-year students accepted for Spring Admission to Northeastern University. Students study at one of our N.U.in partner institutions during the Fall semester and enter Northeastern University in the Spring. Partner universities provide academic courses to the participants while N.U.in staff provide on-site leadership and support services.

The majority of N.U.in programs operate outside the United States, but in 2020 the N.U.in Boston program was added as a transformative response to a challenging year. N.U.in Boston offers students an opportunity to embrace the theme of cultural engagement at a U.S.-based location. Students who join the N.U.in Boston cohort will participate in excursions and community focused programming that highlights the intersecting cultures of a diverse American city and gives them a deeper understanding of their place in the world.

We are hiring for several Assistant Program Liaison positions for each N.U.in program location. The N.U.in on-site staff support the physical, emotional, social, and academic needs of first-year students. In addition to supporting staff at the host institution, these staff members focus on creating positive and valuable experiential learning for students in their academic coursework, host city, and student residences. Assistant Program Liaisons work in staff teams and are supervised by an on-site professional staff member. Site staff enthusiastically embody the mission and values of the N.U.in Program and Northeastern University while working and living in close proximity to first-year students. This position requires virtual attendance during a mandatory training period beginning July 2021.
