Future Faculty Postdoctoral Fellow

Candidates in all disciplines represented at Northeastern University are invited to apply for the ADVANCE Office of Faculty Development’s Future Faculty Postdoctoral Fellowship Program.

Northeastern University’s mission emphasizes translational research that addresses global challenges and enhances social wellbeing. Moreover, the university strives to create a vibrant and diverse community, characterized by collaboration, creativity, and unwavering commitment to excellence. Northeastern University celebrates diversity in all its forms and fosters a culture of respect that affirms intergroup relations and builds community.

Consistent with Northeastern University’s mission, vision, and core values, the objectives of the Future Faculty Postdoctoral Fellowship Program are to:

• Introduce Northeastern University’s academic community to postdoctoral researchers who are considering faculty careers.
• Enhance opportunities for those who are members of groups whose representation in faculty positions is smaller than their representation in the U.S. population. This includes women, racial and ethnic minorities, persons with disabilities, first-generation students, and members of the LGBTQ+ community. They must also show a demonstrated commitment to an inclusive faculty and an inclusive academic experience for all students.
• Prepare Future Faculty Postdoctoral Fellows for possible tenure-track appointments at Northeastern University.
• Enhance the academic environment of Northeastern University by providing opportunities for students and faculty to gain experience in multicultural, broadly diverse and inclusive work settings and research collaborations that improve the capacity of all their members.
