Open Rank (Professor, Associate or Assistant) AI, Sensors, and Human Movement

About the Opportunity

We are seeking highly motivated individuals for an open-rank tenure track or tenured faculty position. Candidates should have an active research program at the intersection of artificial intelligence, sensors, wearable devices, and human movement. The ideal candidate will demonstrate experience conducting interdisciplinary research with healthy or clinical populations that applies AI models to predict relevant health outcomes from wearable sensors. Applicants who focus on early warning and detection systems, models combining wearables and electronic health records for clinical decision support, or human-centered AI applications will be given priority. Candidates working in AI without a human movement, rehabilitation, or health focus will not be considered.

The primary appointment will be within the Department of Physical Therapy, Movement, and Rehabilitation Sciences in Bouve with a secondary appointment in another college that is in line with the candidate's research expertise.

Our tenure and promotion process values collaborative research and teamwork. Hires will be mentored for success, with mentoring teams and group guidance. In addition, a strong and effective faculty development strategy is part of the Northeastern institutional mission.

Responsibilities

Responsibilities will include teaching undergraduate and graduate courses, conducting an independent and externally funded research program, and participating in departmental, college, and university service. Qualified candidates must be prepared to work with global student populations.

• Established line of inquiry including AI and sensors/wearable devices.
• Demonstrated experience writing and submitting grants commensurate with candidate's rank.
