Work at NIGA

Build a university from its foundations.

NIGA is recruiting the faculty and staff who will shape its first curricula, its research, and its standards — across ten schools and three campuses.

Join the Founding

An institution to build, not inherit.

To join NIGA University in its founding years is to do something most academic careers never offer: to build an institution rather than to inherit one. The faculty and staff who come to NIGA now will shape its first curricula, establish its research programs, and set the standards that will define the University for generations.

NIGA recruits scholars and professionals who share its conviction that the academy exists to serve the public good. The University is building its faculty and staff across all ten schools and three campuses, and welcomes inquiries from candidates committed to that mission.
