Position Dates: July-December 2021

The N.U.in Program is a unique opportunity for first-year students accepted for Spring Admission to Northeastern University. Students study at one of our N.U.in partner institutions during the Fall semester and enter Northeastern University in the Spring. Partner universities provide academic courses to the participants while N.U.in staff provide on-site leadership and support services.

We are hiring for several International Coordinator positions for each N.U.in program location. The N.U.in on-site staff support the physical, emotional, social, and academic needs of first-year students. In addition to supporting staff at the host institution, these staff members focus on creating positive and valuable experiential learning for students in their academic coursework, host city, and student residences. International Coordinators work in staff teams and are supervised by an on-site professional staff member. Site staff enthusiastically embody the mission and values of the N.U.in Program and Northeastern University while working and living in close proximity to first-year students.

This position is a short-term commitment with full workdays internationally for the Fall 2021 semester (dates vary by location). This on-site position also requires virtual attendance during a mandatory training period beginning July 2021. This is an in-person position that requires site staff to live in the student accommodation with students during the fall 2021 semester which runs from August – December 2021.

The International Coordinators are responsible for supporting facets of the N.U.in Program for one of our N.U.in locations.
