About the Opportunity

ABOUT NORTHEASTERN

Founded in 1898, Northeastern is a global research university and the recognized leader in experience-driven lifelong learning. Our world-renowned experiential approach empowers our students, faculty, alumni, and partners to create impact far beyond the confines of discipline, degree, and campus. Northeastern University is a global university system. Positions will primarily be on the Boston campus but may be available at any of our 14 campus locations. Our locations—in Boston; Charlotte, North Carolina; London; Portland, Maine; San Francisco; Seattle; Silicon Valley; Toronto; Vancouver; and the Massachusetts communities of Burlington and Nahant—are nodes in our growing global university system. Through this network, we expand opportunities for flexible, student-centered learning and collaborative, solutions-focused research. Northeastern's comprehensive array of undergraduate and graduate programs— in a variety of on-campus and online formats—lead to degrees through the doctorate in nine colleges and schools. Among these, we offer more than 195 multi-discipline majors and degrees designed to prepare students for purposeful lives and careers.

The Bouve College of Health Sciences has over 200 faculty members, with approximately 2,000 undergraduate and 2,400 graduate students. It is the leading national model for education and research in the health, psychosocial and biomedical sciences and supports the University's mission of educating students for a life of fulfillment and accomplishment and creating and translating knowledge to meet global and societal needs.

The College comprises four schools with eight departments:
  • School of Clinical and Rehabilitation Sciences (Departments of Communication Sciences and Disorders, Medical Sciences, and Physical Therapy, Movement and Rehabilitation Sciences);
  • School of Community Health and Behavioral Sciences (Departments of Applied Psychology and Health Sciences);
  • School of Nursing;
  • School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences (Departments of Pharmaceutical Sciences and Pharmacy and Health System Sciences)


Cross-disciplinary research programs and appointments are strongly encouraged within the College, and across the University.

ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY

Northeastern University is searching for qualified candidates to fill multiple tenured or tenure track faculty positions at all ranks (Assistant Professor, Associate Professor, and/or Professor) in the broad research area of Health Technology and Data. Within this hiring cluster, Bouve College of Health Sciences is interested in hiring faculty with expertise in digital health, AI-enabled health, public health technologies, technology to support reproductive health and justice; technology or data science to support pharmaceutical development, regulation and accessibility; innovative strategies to reduce health inequities; health data analytics and visualization; the protection of public health using data/technology; and telehealth.

Our tenure and promotion process values collaborative research and teamwork. Hires will be mentored for success, with mentoring teams and group guidance. In addition, a strong and effective faculty development strategy is part of the Northeastern institutional mission. The ADVANCE Office of Faculty Development office works in conjunction with the Office of Research Development (ORD), the Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (ODEI), the Center for Advancing Teaching and Learning Through Research (CATLR), and University Decision Support (UDS) to provide programs and trainings to further develop and support a thriving faculty.

At Northeastern University, we embrace a culture of respect, where each person is valued for their contribution and is treated fairly. We oppose all forms of racism. We support a culture that does not tolerate any form of discrimination and where each person may belong. We strive to have a diverse membership, one where each person is trained and mentored to promote their success.

RESPONSIBILITIES

The successful candidate will be located in Boston with tenure home in one of the eight departments in the Bouve College, with a possible joint appointment in another department/college at the university (to be determined based on the candidates' expertise). The candidate will also conduct undergraduate and profession/graduate teaching and student advising; lead/participate in experiential learning opportunities for students, such as capstones and directed research, as well as serving in dissertation committees; and engage in service activities in the Department, College, and University. We seek individuals who can leverage their program of research to facilitate collaborations with other colleges and nodes of Northeastern's global university system, who are interested in health/healthcare data science and digital health broadly represented across disciplines and bring innovative pedagogical methods into undergraduate, graduate and professional lifelong learning.

QUALIFICATIONS

A Ph.D., M.D. PharmD, DrPH or equivalent doctoral degree in Health Informatics, Biostatistics, Epidemiology, Economics, Health Policy, Public Health, Population Health, Computer Science, Data Science, or a related field is required by the appointment start date.
