Assistant Professor Jobs in New York: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become an assistant professor in New York?
Becoming an assistant professor in New York begins with completing a terminal degree in your field, typically a Ph.D. or a discipline-specific equivalent such as an M.F.A. or J.D. New York has no state-issued teaching license for college faculty, so hiring decisions rest on your doctoral credential, scholarly record, and teaching portfolio. Most candidates apply through national job listings posted by individual New York institutions and are reviewed by departmental search committees before campus interviews.
Which companies hire assistant professors in New York?
Employers hiring assistant professors in New York right now include University at Buffalo, Long Island University, and The City University Of New York, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. New York's density of private research universities, SUNY and CUNY system campuses, and specialized graduate schools makes it one of the broadest faculty hiring markets in the United States.
Which New York cities have the most assistant professor jobs?
New York, Buffalo, and Brooklyn have the most assistant professor openings in New York. New York City dominates because of its concentration of private research universities, CUNY campuses, and professional schools, while Buffalo and Ithaca draw significant hiring through major SUNY flagships and Ivy League institutions that maintain large, ongoing faculty recruitment cycles.
Are there remote assistant professor jobs in New York?
Yes, but they're less common than in most knowledge-work fields. About 1% of assistant professor openings tied to New York are remote or hybrid as of June 2026, reflecting the on-campus expectations most institutions attach to teaching, office hours, and committee work. Online-focused programs and continuing education divisions are the parts of the market most likely to post fully remote faculty positions.
How can I get hired as an assistant professor in New York with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is a postdoctoral fellowship or visiting assistant professor appointment, both of which are widely available at New York's research universities and liberal arts colleges. CUNY and SUNY campuses regularly hire adjunct instructors as a first step, and a strong teaching portfolio combined with at least one publication significantly improves competitiveness. Candidates with industry experience in high-demand fields like data science, nursing, or finance can also move into clinical or practitioner faculty roles that weight professional credentials over a full research record.
Where can I find and apply to assistant professor jobs in New York?
You can find and apply to assistant professor jobs in New York on Migrate Mate, which lists current New York openings across institutions and disciplines. Search the available roles, find the ones that match your field and experience level, and apply directly to each position through the listing.
