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.

Our locations-in Boston; Arlington, Charlotte, North Carolina;

Miami; London; Portland, Maine; Oakland; 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 250 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 Department of Physical Therapy, Movement, and Rehabilitation

Sciences is located within Bouve College of Health Sciences and

comprises 40 faculty members, some with joint or affiliated

appointments across other colleges, who are internationally known

for their study of rehabilitation sciences and brain and cognitive

health.

The Department offers one of the most established and

largest Doctor of Physical Therapy programs in the country, along

with Ph.

D. and Master's programs in Human Movement and

Rehabilitation Sciences, and a Sports Physical Therapy Residency

Program. Artificial intelligence (AI) is integrated throughout

programs at Northeastern, and our Master's program features a

dedicated AI concentration.

About the Opportunity

We are seeking highly motivated individuals for an open-rank tenure

track or tenured faculty position.

Candidates should have an active

research program at the intersection of artificial intelligence,

sensors, wearable devices, and human movement.

The ideal candidate

will demonstrate experience conducting interdisciplinary research

with healthy or clinical populations that applies AI models to

predict relevant health outcomes from wearable sensors.

Applicants

who focus on early warning and detection systems, models combining

wearables and electronic health records for clinical decision

support, or human-centered AI applications will be given priority.

Candidates working in AI without a human movement, rehabilitation,

or health focus will not be considered.

The primary appointment will be within the Department of Physical

Therapy, Movement, and Rehabilitation Sciences in Bouve with a

secondary appointment in another college that is in line with the

candidate's research expertise.

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

(CATLR), and University Decision Support (UDS) to provide programs

and trainings to further develop and support a thriving

faculty.
