Job Description

Texas A&M International University (TAMIU), a member of the
Texas A&M University System, welcomes applicants for an
Associate or Full Professor and Chair of the Department of
Psychology & Communication to begin Fall 2027.

TAMIU is a Hispanic Serving Institution with over 8,000 students
located in Laredo, Texas, a vibrant and bicultural city with a
population of about 250,000. The university advances knowledge
through research and discovery, teaching and learning, community

student success and research excellence. For more information,

This is a tenured 12-month position as Associate or Full Professor
and Chair of the Department of Psychology & Communication with
a reduced course load to allow for administrative duties. Primary
duties will include modeling, supporting, and rewarding faculty
excellence in teaching, research, scholarship, and service;
assessing, revising, innovating, and modernizing curricula;
coordinating course scheduling; overseeing the recruitment and
hiring of new faculty; credentialing and evaluating faculty;
managing the budget; and developing partnerships across the
university and community. Duties also include providing support to
students, supporting recruitment and retention initiatives, and
representing the department in college and university-level
strategic planning. The chair will also play a central role in
developing the department's proposed PhD in Counseling Psychology
and in growing the Communication program at the Texas
A&M-RELLIS campus. This is an on-campus leadership position
with an expectation of regular engagement with students, faculty,
staff, and community partners. This position requires face-to-face
interactions through a regular schedule of attendance on campus and
in the workplace.

The Department of Psychology & Communication has 14 full-time
Psychology faculty members and 9 full-time Communication faculty
members. It offers the following degree programs: BA in Psychology,
BA in Communication, MA in Communication, MS in Psychology, and MA
in Counseling Psychology.

Required Qualifications

The successful candidate must hold a doctorate (PhD) in psychology,
communication, or a closely related discipline that aligns with
disciplines in the department. Candidates must have a record of
research and publications, teaching experience commensurate with
rank, at least 5 years of full-time faculty experience, and
experience in faculty management. We strongly encourage candidates
with a strong record of peer-reviewed scholarship and demonstrated
success in securing and managing external funding (infrastructure,
instrument, programmatic, or research). We strongly encourage
applicants with administrative and supervisory experience as a
program coordinator, program director, or division/department
chair.

We offer competitive salaries and a benefits package including
health insurance, retirement benefits, and life insurance.
Financial support for professional development opportunities, such
as attending academic conferences, is also provided. Moving
expenses are covered in whole or in part by the university.
