About the Opportunity
Northeastern University School of Law is hiring new faculty to teach in our Legal Skills in Social Context (LSSC) program during the 2027-2028 academic year. We are seeking to fill a full-time position for Assistant/Associate Teaching Professor to teach the LSSC course. LSSC is the cornerstone of the first-year curriculum at Northeastern and reflects the school's commitment to both experiential education and social justice. The 8-credit course is designed to enhance law students' skills development with a social justice lawyering experience. The course is comprised of two parts: a traditional legal research and writing component and a faculty-supervised social justice research project in partnership with a community organization. The curriculum for the course challenges students to grapple with law as a social construct and its impact on historically excluded populations and to examine the roles of lawyers in the pursuit of justice and equity. Students learn and develop a wide array of essential lawyering skills and have an opportunity to apply their skills by putting them to immediate use in support of underserved communities.
The School of Law is a national leader in experiential legal education, with a deep commitment to law in service of the public interest and to engaged scholarship and interdisciplinary collaboration. In making faculty appointments, the School of Law seeks to enhance its innovative curriculum, which combines experiential learning with rigorous analytical training and interdisciplinarity.
The search committee is especially interested in qualified candidates who can contribute to the excellence of the academic community through their research, teaching, and/or service. We also encourage applicants to share how their background and experience will contribute to the Northeastern community.
Applications will be reviewed upon receipt and the search will continue until the position is filled. More information regarding this position can be obtained by contacting the Legal Skills in Social Context Program Director, Margaret Hahn-DuPont, via email at m.hahndupont@northeastern.edu.
Responsibilities:
The new hire will be responsible for teaching two sections of the LSSC course, which includes teaching legal research, writing, and lawyering skills to first-year law students and supervising two student social justice research projects, conducted in partnership with a community or public interest organization. Sections are taught either on ground or in the law school’s evening FlexJD program, which is fully remote and partially asynchronous. Therefore, there is an expectation that FlexJD program teaching will be included in the new hire’s teaching package.
Qualifications:
Required: Applicants must hold a J.D. from an ABA-accredited law school, or LL.B. or foreign equivalent, required by employment start date. Candidates must have expertise in teaching legal research, writing, and lawyering skills, as well as a demonstrated commitment to using law as a means for advancing social justice.

Tips for Your Remote Assistant Teaching Professor Job Search
Apply early to remote roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists remote assistant teaching professor openings from across the U.S. in one place, so you can find roles that match your subject area and apply directly without sorting through campus-based postings.
Show asynchronous teaching samples upfront
Remote academic employers screen for written communication before anything else. Include a link to a recorded lecture, an online module you designed, or annotated student feedback in your application materials so reviewers see remote capability immediately.
Highlight your learning management system fluency
Proficiency in platforms like Canvas, Blackboard, or Moodle signals readiness for remote instruction. Name the systems you have used and describe a specific course structure or assessment you built inside them, rather than listing the tool alone.
Frame your cover letter around independent course management
Remote hiring committees want evidence you can run a course without check-ins. Describe a time you redesigned a module based on student data alone, resolved an academic integrity issue remotely, or maintained engagement in a fully online cohort.
Remote Assistant Teaching Professor Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote assistant teaching professor job?
Remote assistant teaching professor roles go to candidates who can demonstrate self-direction, strong asynchronous written communication, and the ability to support students without in-person contact. Online universities, continuing education providers, and distributed academic teams are the most active remote hirers. A portfolio showing course design work, student feedback, or asynchronous curriculum you have built gives you a clear edge over candidates with equivalent credentials but no remote teaching evidence.
Which companies hire remote assistant teaching professors?
Employers currently hiring remote assistant teaching professors include William & Mary, Northern Kentucky University, and Faculty, per current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These tend to be fully online universities, distributed professional development organizations, and remote-first continuing education providers operating across multiple time zones.
Can you get a remote assistant teaching professor job with no experience?
Yes, but remote entry-level positions are harder to land because you must demonstrate independent classroom management from day one without on-site supervision. Online community colleges, tutoring platforms, and adjunct remote programs hire entry-level candidates. Showing completed course design projects, a teaching philosophy statement tailored to online learners, or volunteer facilitation of remote workshops can open the door when formal experience is thin.
Do you need a degree for remote assistant teaching professor jobs?
Usually, but the specific degree requirements vary by institution and subject area. Most remote academic employers require at least a master's degree in a relevant field, and research universities typically require a doctorate. Where credentials are lighter, employers weigh demonstrated subject matter expertise, published work, curriculum design samples, and verifiable student outcome results as evidence of readiness.
Which industries hire the most remote assistant teaching professors?
Most remote assistant teaching professor openings sit in Education, per current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These sectors rely on distributed academic teams to deliver online courses, professional certifications, and continuing education to geographically dispersed student populations.
