Entry Level Professor Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level professor job?
Entry level professor roles typically look for candidates with a master's or doctoral degree in a relevant field, along with teaching experience from graduate assistantships, adjunct positions, or tutoring. A strong teaching statement and sample syllabi can set you apart at this stage. Applying to community colleges, visiting instructor positions, and lecturer roles gives new graduates the most realistic entry points into the profession.
Which companies hire entry level professors?
Companies hiring entry level professors right now include University of Kentucky, University of Florida, and University of Minnesota, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of July 2026. At this level, hiring comes from a mix of community colleges, four-year universities, vocational schools, and corporate training programs that bring in early-career instructors to teach foundational coursework.
Are there remote entry level professor jobs?
Yes, though most professor roles remain on-site or hybrid. About 4% of entry level professor openings are remote or hybrid as of July 2026, concentrated in online degree programs, continuing education, and workforce development courses where institutions have built fully virtual curricula.
Are these new grad professor jobs?
Yes, many of these listings are new grad and junior roles that welcome recent graduates with little to no professional teaching experience. A new grad-friendly posting typically invites candidates with zero to two years of experience, values graduate teaching assistantships or practicum work, and accepts a teaching portfolio or sample lesson plan in place of an extensive employment history.
Which industries hire the most entry level professors?
Entry level professor roles concentrate in Education, Healthcare & Medical Services, and Science & Research, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of July 2026. Those sectors drive hiring at this level because they maintain large instructional workforces, frequently open adjunct and visiting faculty positions, and actively recruit candidates who are early in their academic or professional careers.
