Professor Jobs in New York: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a professor in New York?
Becoming a professor in New York typically requires earning a terminal degree in your field, most often a PhD or MFA, followed by teaching experience gained through graduate assistantships or adjunct positions. New York does not require a state-issued license for most college faculty, but professional programs in nursing, law, and medicine expect candidates to hold the corresponding New York State professional license in that field before joining a faculty.
Which companies hire professors in New York?
Employers hiring 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 research universities, CUNY and SUNY campuses, and specialized graduate schools means faculty openings are distributed across the state rather than concentrated in a single system.
Which New York cities have the most professor jobs?
New York, Brooklyn, and Buffalo have the most professor openings in New York. New York City leads because of the sheer number of private universities, CUNY campuses, and medical schools concentrated there, while Albany's openings are driven by SUNY's administrative flagship and several health-focused institutions, and Buffalo draws on a large public research university and growing health sciences sector.
Are there remote professor jobs in New York?
Yes, but they're less common than in purely desk-based fields, since most faculty roles involve in-person lectures, lab supervision, or studio instruction. About 2% of professor openings tied to New York are remote or hybrid as of June 2026, concentrated mainly in online degree programs and continuing education divisions. Courses in business, data analytics, and general education are the categories most likely to be listed as fully remote.
How can I get hired as a professor in New York with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is securing an adjunct or visiting lecturer position, which most CUNY and SUNY campuses post on an ongoing basis and fill without requiring a full publication record. Completing a PhD program at a New York institution, such as the CUNY Graduate Center or a SUNY doctoral campus, gives candidates an inside track through department contacts. A strong teaching portfolio and one peer-reviewed publication or equivalent creative work can offset limited experience for community college roles, which tend to weight teaching over research.
Where can I find and apply to professor jobs in New York?
You can find and apply to professor jobs in New York on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from institutions hiring across the state. Search the listings, identify roles that match your field and experience level, and apply directly to the ones that fit.
