Entry Level Assistant Teaching Professor Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level assistant teaching professor job?
Focus on completing a relevant graduate degree, building a teaching portfolio through graduate assistantships or adjunct experience, and tailoring your application materials to highlight pedagogical skills over research alone. Many entry level positions explicitly welcome candidates with limited classroom experience, so a well-developed syllabus sample, strong letters of recommendation from faculty mentors, and a clear teaching philosophy statement can give you a meaningful edge at this stage.
Which companies hire entry level assistant teaching professors?
Companies hiring entry level assistant teaching professors right now include North Carolina State University, William & Mary, and Rutgers University, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. At this level, hiring comes primarily from community colleges, regional universities, and private liberal arts institutions that maintain active faculty pipelines for new and recent graduates.
Are there remote entry level assistant teaching professor jobs?
Yes, though most positions are still campus-based. About 4% of entry level assistant teaching professor openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, with fully remote roles most common in online degree programs and continuing education departments that do not require in-person instruction.
Are these new grad assistant teaching professor jobs?
Yes, many of these postings are new grad and recent graduate roles that explicitly welcome candidates with zero to two years of experience. A posting is typically new-grad friendly when it lists a completed or nearly completed master's or doctoral degree as the primary requirement and treats internships, graduate teaching assistantships, or a strong teaching portfolio as sufficient professional background in place of prior faculty employment.
Which industries hire the most entry level assistant teaching professors?
Entry Level assistant teaching professor roles concentrate in Education, Healthcare & Medical Services, and Science & Research, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These sectors drive hiring at this level because they maintain large undergraduate programs with ongoing demand for instructors who bring current disciplinary training rather than extensive prior teaching records.
