The Georgia Tech College of Lifetime Learning conducts an annual faculty search for scholars who want to shape a new academic field at the intersection of learning, work, and society.
Faculty in the College collaborate across Georgia Tech with researchers, educators, and practitioners to advance research-informed approaches to lifelong learning. We seek scholars who demonstrate excellence in research, teaching, and mentoring—and who are motivated to contribute to a college designed for impact across the full arc of life.
The faculty search for the 2026–2027 academic year will launch in early summer 2026. The application process is currently closed.
