Assistant Or Associate Professor Jobs in New York: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a assistant or associate professor in New York?
Becoming an assistant or associate professor in New York requires earning a terminal degree, typically a PhD or MFA, in your discipline and building a record of research, publication, or creative work before applying. New York does not issue a state license for faculty positions, but roles in professional programs such as law, medicine, or nursing may require the relevant New York state license for that underlying profession. Most candidates apply through institutional job postings at CUNY, SUNY, or private universities and go through a faculty search committee process.
Which companies hire assistant or associate professors in New York?
Employers hiring assistant or associate professors in New York right now include City University of New York, Cornell University, and University at Buffalo, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. New York's combination of large public university systems and private research universities means hiring is spread across both metropolitan campuses and regional institutions throughout the state.
Which New York cities have the most assistant or associate professor jobs?
The cities with the most assistant or associate professor openings in New York are New York, Buffalo, and Bronx. New York City dominates because of the density of private universities, medical schools, and CUNY campuses concentrated there, while Buffalo and Albany reflect the footprint of SUNY's flagship and regional campuses, which together represent the largest public higher education system in the country.
Are there remote assistant or associate professor jobs in New York?
Yes, but they remain a minority of total openings. About 0% of assistant or associate professor openings tied to New York are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting ongoing growth in online program delivery. Fully remote positions are most common in online-degree programs, continuing education, and certain business or technology disciplines where asynchronous instruction is well established.
How can I get hired as a assistant or associate professor in New York with little or no experience?
Candidates with limited teaching experience most realistically enter through adjunct or visiting assistant professor roles, which CUNY and SUNY campuses post regularly and use as a pipeline for full-time hires. Building a teaching portfolio, securing even a single peer-reviewed publication, and completing a postdoctoral appointment at a New York research hospital or university strengthens a candidacy significantly. Lateral entry from industry is most viable in professional programs such as business, nursing, social work, and law, where New York employers value practitioner experience alongside academic credentials.
