About the Opportunity

Northeastern University invites applications for multiple, cross-disciplinary faculty positions at all ranks (Assistant Professor, Associate Professor, or Professor) beginning academic year 2023-24 in multiple research areas that encompass Mental Health.

Globally, one in five adults (20%) is challenged by a mental health disorder, and one in 10 (10%) youth experiences severe mental illness. More than ever, addressing mental health disorders with prevention and therapies is a worldwide priority that requires interdisciplinary approaches across almost every field, including the life, health, and social sciences, policy, communication, design, technology, and the arts. Applicants with research expertise in the following areas are encouraged to apply: clinical and population mental health and related challenges and behavioral and translational science of addiction; metabolism in brain and body health; technology and social media; mental health and the arts; mental health justice; role of technology and social media in mental health and mental health issues in the workplace.

Bouve College of Health Sciences is searching for faculty with expertise in one of two areas: clinical and population mental health and related challenges and behavioral and translational science of addiction.

The College of Arts, Media, and Design (CAMD) is searching for faculty 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 College of Science (COS) is searching for faculty in the field of metabolism in brain and body health with new approaches to understanding the connections between metabolism and brain and mental health, including using chemistry, biochemistry, imaging, analytical (bio)chemistry methods, and/or other approaches. The candidate would advance research related to the chemical and biological principles underlying the links between metabolism and brain-body health.

The D'Amore-McKim School of Business (DMSB) is searching for faculty with expertise and interest in the role of technology and social media in mental health and mental health issues in the workplace.

Faculty will have a primary tenure home department in either the Bouve College of Health Sciences, the College of Science, the College of Arts, Media, and Design, or the D'Amore-McKim School of Business. A secondary appointment in a different college is also possible depending on the candidate's discipline and research focus. 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.

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 Ph.D. or terminal degree in a discipline relevant to one of the representative areas of interest and the department of primary appointment by the appointment start date is required. We encourage applicants from a wide range of backgrounds, including academia and industry
