What are the responsibilities and job description for the Assistant Professor position at Long Island University?
Multiple Tenure Track Faculty Positions
frontiers of knowledge converge—uniting disciplines to solve the world’s most complex
challenges, generate bold new scientific theories, and create models that transform discovery
into societal impact. At CSEA, ideas don’t just advance science—they redefine what is possible.
CSEA is positioning itself as a national leader in convergence science, STEM education, and
interdisciplinary research. It will consolidate LIU’s strengths in computing, engineering, life
sciences, mathematics, and health sciences, while advancing the One LIU Vision and the
University’s strategic research priorities. By dissolving traditional disciplinary boundaries, the
College empowers students and faculty to approach complex problems with bold, integrated
solutions. Here, discoveries evolve into theories, models, and innovations that scale knowledge
and impact communities worldwide.
