Description:
Who We Are:
Are you ready to work at a dynamic institution that believes in higher education with lower obstacles? Benjamin Franklin Cummings Institute of Technology (now known as Franklin Cummings Tech) is a nationally accredited non-profit, technical college serving Eastern Massachusetts and beyond. The college was seeded in 1791 with funds from the estate of Benjamin Franklin given to the City of Boston to proliferate access to education and level the playing field for aspiring talent with meager financial means.
Today, Franklin Cummings Tech continues to build on that legacy by offering post-secondary education in high-demand technical and skilled trade fields that lead to excellent careers. With a mission to deliver transformative technical and trade education that leads to economic advancement, we offer a unique mix of certificate and degree-granting programs that appeal to enterprising students and respond to employer’s demand for a well-prepared workforce. Intentional partnerships with the industries we serve coupled with high graduation and job placement rates, recently attracted the largest philanthropic gift in the history of the college from the Cummings Foundation.
Last year, Franklin Cummings Tech educated more than 1,000 learners across three student types: 1) certificate and degree seekers, 2) continuing education clients, and 3) high schoolers pursuing early college. As further evidence that our mission holds resonance, this year the college tracked a 25% year-over-year jump in fall new student enrollment and applications soared.
We seek team members who are optimistic, entrepreneurial, data-informed, and excited about the prospect of continuing to strategically increase student success outcomes and total enrollment from 1,000 learners today to at least 1,500 learners by 2030. Join us in this mission-driven work!
Position Overview:
Launched in Fall 2023, the Cybersecurity concentration within Computer IT offers students an associate’s degree with a foundation in networking and cloud computing. The college has received a $1 million grant from Google to support our hands-on cybersecurity clinic (operated in partnership with the Black Economic Council of Massachusetts), a $350K National Science Foundation grant to support curriculum development and free certification tests for students, and a $100K grant from the Mass Tech Collaborative to place students in paid internships with Massachusetts municipal governments.
As the program grows, we are seeking a dynamic and committed full-time professor of cybersecurity. This is a great opportunity for someone who wants to share their cyber know-how with the next generation of cybersecurity professionals. This position begins September 1, 2026.
