Employment Opportunities

It’s an exciting time for Olin College of Engineering...

We are growing our community, building engagement and enacting the school's mission of transforming engineering education toward a world in which engineering serves everyone.

We are fortunate to have a passionate, engaged community who believe in and wholly support Olin’s revolutionary mission, values and approach. Each of us—faculty, staff, students, partners and friends—is motivated by the daily knowledge that we are building and evolving the college together.

At Olin College we are dedicated to building a diverse, inclusive and authentic workplace. As a small campus, the in-person experience and cross-team collaboration is what helps build a strong, dynamic community for our students, faculty and staff. It is important to note that any work for pay must be performed in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts where Olin is registered to do business. If you’re excited about a role and have relevant experience, but your work history doesn’t align perfectly with every qualification in the job description, we'd nevertheless encourage you to apply.

If you are interested in joining the Faculty at Olin but our current opportunities don’t quite fit your experience or background, we’d still like to hear from you. Please email us at jobs@olin.edu.
