Named accountability
Every student can name their mentor. Every course names its instructor and architect.
Join the team
Every promise a university makes needs a person whose whole job is to keep it.
Forward does not hire generalists. We hire against nine specialist roles, each with its own brief, its own caseload, and its own name in the prospectus.
Why Forward
A faculty model designed for people who want to do one thing brilliantly.
We separate the six traditional jobs of a professor into full-time specialist roles. That means you are hired to do the thing you are best at, measured on published caseloads, and supported by Amagezi, the system that enforces the separation in software.
Published caseloads
Mentors, instructors and evaluators all carry published ratios. A breach is a Dean's action item.
Cooperative education
Practice tutors broker real, paid placements and assess the workplace learning that results.
Supervised AI
Musomesa expands contact time, but humans confirm every mark and own every decision.
Open roles
The nine roles we recruit against.
Each card links the role, the focus of the post, and the published promise it exists to protect.

Founding-intake hiring is open. We review expressions of interest every two weeks and respond with next steps or an honest timeline.
