Open Rank Professor in Mental Health

About the Opportunity

Northeastern University's College of Arts, Media, and Design (CAMD) invites applications for an open-rank, tenured or tenure-track position in the broad thematic area of Mental Health. Within this broad theme, we are particularly interested candidates with expertise in mental health challenges (e.g., behavioral health equity; social determinants of health; race and mental health disparities), as well as technology and social media (e.g., interventions; health promotion campaigns; media effects; social support), and mental health and the arts (e.g., music/arts interventions and psychological outcomes; creativity and mental health).

The position will have a primary tenure home in one of CAMD's six schools and departments (Architecture, Art + Design, Communication Studies, Journalism, Music, and Theater). We have a particular interest in candidates with a home in Communication Studies, Design, Music, or the arts. Joint appointments and/or affiliations with other colleges and institutes at Northeastern University are strongly encouraged and will be considered as appropriate.

Responsibilities

Faculty members at Northeastern are expected to develop independent research programs that attract external funding; teach courses at the graduate and undergraduate level; supervise students and postdocs in their area of research; and participate in service to the department, university, and discipline. Candidates interested in conducting high-impact research programs and committed to teaching excellence in the broad areas above are encouraged to apply.

Qualifications

A PhD or terminal degree (e.g. MFA, MArch) in the candidate's field (communication studies, design, music, or a field relevant to the home department) by the appointment start date. The College is seeking to give excellent candidates across all demographics of society the opportunity, resources, and support to establish innovative and impactful research careers. This includes candidates at the earliest stages of their careers as well as those who are more established. For select candidates, there may be an option of a 1- to 2-year CAMD funded, mentored post-doc Fellow position, to allow candidates to ramp up their research programs before starting on the tenure track.
