Job Details

Launching in the summer of 2019, the Center for Inclusive Computing is a new initiative of Northeastern University and the Khoury College of Computer Sciences. The goal of the Center is to promote the advancement of women majoring in computing in college. While best practices for how to increase representation of women are well documented and widely known, stagnant percentages indicate that uptake of these practices has been slow. In response, the goal of the Center is to work with 25 large computing programs over the next six years to implement evidence-based practices to substantially grow the average representation of women majoring in computing and create a national demonstration effect.

An expert on implementing best practices for women in computing, the Program Director oversees the day-to-day operations of the Center. These include the grant making process, the provision of technical assistance to universities, and peer to peer mentoring. In addition, the Program Director will have responsibility for working with colleagues and consultants on monitoring and evaluation, research, and strategic communications.

The Program Director reports to the Executive Director of the Center, will supervise the Program Coordinator, and will work closely with the Technical Advisors, Researcher and Communications Specialist.
