Primary considerations for all faculty positions will be an outstanding research record, excellent recommendations, and teaching ability. Candidates who, through their research, teaching and service, will contribute to the diversity and excellence of the academic community are encouraged to apply.

The Weinberg Dean’s Office of Undergraduate Studies & Advising (OUSA) at Northwestern University seeks to hire at least two College Advisers with joint appointments in advising and a Weinberg department or program. Ideal candidates will have experience advising, particularly working with students who have worked with historically underrepresented, lower-income, minoritized, and/or first-generation college students. Primary daily responsibilities include individual meetings with advisees and participation in advising office activities and committees. 

Our mission is to support all students as they define and pursue their unique academic paths and think critically about the intersections of their academic and personal identities. Over half of our student body identifies as having a minoritized racial or ethnic identity; 15% are first-generation; over 20% are Pell Grant recipients; and over 10% are international. We seek to provide holistic advising experiences that prepare all students to become effective learners, contributors, and leaders. By developing long-term advising relationships, we mentor students through all phases of their academic careers.

College Advisers hold appointments in the OUSA and concurrent teaching-track appointments in academic departments or programs in the Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences. Academic advising and related service constitute the primary responsibilities of the position. This is a 10-month, full-time, benefits-eligible position to start September 1, 2024. The initial appointment is three years.
