Professor Jobs in Pennsylvania: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a professor in Pennsylvania?
Becoming a professor in Pennsylvania typically requires a terminal degree in your field, such as a PhD for research and most academic disciplines or an MFA for fine and performing arts. Pennsylvania does not require a state-issued teaching license for higher education faculty. Institutions post positions through their human resources portals, and candidates are evaluated on academic credentials, teaching philosophy statements, and research or creative portfolios. Community colleges may accept a master's degree for certain adjunct or full-time roles.
Which companies hire professors in Pennsylvania?
Pennsylvania professor roles are posted by Thomas Jefferson University & Jefferson Health, Penn State University, and widener University and others right now, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Pennsylvania's high concentration of private research universities, large public systems, and independent liberal arts colleges means openings appear across a wide range of institution types throughout the year.
Which Pennsylvania cities have the most professor jobs?
Philadelphia, University Park, and Pittsburgh have the most professor openings in Pennsylvania. Philadelphia's density of major research universities and medical schools drives the largest share of postings, Pittsburgh's anchor institutions in technology and the arts generate strong demand in western Pennsylvania, and State College reflects the scale of Penn State's flagship campus and its continuous faculty hiring cycle.
Are there remote professor jobs in Pennsylvania?
Yes, and they are more available than in many other fields, particularly for online program faculty and adjunct instructors teaching asynchronous courses. About 60% of professor openings tied to Pennsylvania are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, reflecting the significant online education infrastructure at Pennsylvania institutions. Roles with lab instruction, clinical supervision, or studio-based teaching remain overwhelmingly on-site.
How can I get hired as a professor in Pennsylvania with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is adjunct or part-time faculty work, which Pennsylvania community colleges and regional four-year institutions hire for on a rolling basis throughout the academic year. Institutions such as the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education member universities and community college districts regularly bring on adjuncts who later transition to full-time roles. Completing a teaching practicum or fellowship during graduate training, building a clear teaching portfolio, and applying for visiting assistant professor positions gives candidates without a full publication record a competitive edge.
Where can I find and apply to professor jobs in Pennsylvania?
You can find and apply to professor jobs in Pennsylvania on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from institutions and employers across the state. Search the listings to find roles that match your discipline, experience level, and preferred location, then apply directly to the ones that fit.
