Also, Longbottom would have been on the staff for a number of years. I presume he would run a very good school seeing as all his herbology student like him. Others possibly offered job: Hermione Granger, Horace Slughorn, Percy Weasley.  add a comment

Neville would have to be a Hufflepuff to become Head of House. Logically, after McGonagall is appointed Headmistress, Neville would become Head of Gryffindor, never Hufflepuff.  add a comment

Neville Longbottom I believe. Neville is the head master when Hermiely, Ron, and Harry's children started going to school. I remember the end of the book, one of them mentioning to tell the new headmaster Longbottom Hello.

It isn't specifically revealed but I do believe there was a chat with J.K. Rowling where she stated that Aberforth Dumbledore started to teach after the war and I think she did hint that he eventually because Headmaster.
