Job Description

Texas A&M International University (TAMIU), a member of the
Texas A&M University System, welcomes applicants for a Chair
of the Department of Humanities and Associate/Full Professor of
English or History or Spanish 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
engagement and public service, and with an intentional focus on
student success and research excellence. For more information,
please visit https://www.tamiu.edu/

This is a tenured associate/full professor 12-month position with a
reduced teaching load. 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 and course
offering plans, and overseeing the recruitment and hiring of new
faculty. Duties also include credentialing and evaluating faculty,
managing departmental accounts and budget, developing partnerships
across the university and community, providing support to students,
supporting recruitment and retention initiatives, and representing
the department in college and university-level meetings and
strategic planning. This position requires face-to-face
interactions through a regular schedule of attendance on campus and
in the workplace.

The Department of Humanities has 29 full-time faculty. It offers
BAs in English, History, and Spanish, a minor in Philosophy, and
three graduate programs: an MA in English, an MA in History &
Political Thought, and an MA in Language, Literature, &
Translation.

Required Qualifications

The successful candidate must hold a doctorate in English, History,
Spanish, or a closely related discipline. Candidates must have a
record of publications and teaching experience commensurate to rank
and at least 5 years of full-time faculty experience. Tenure will
only be granted after approval of the Texas A&M University
System Board of Regents. We strongly encourage candidates with a
strong track record of peer-reviewed publications as well as
experience in writing, securing, and managing external grants
(infrastructure, instrument, programmatic, or research). We also
strongly encourage candidates with administrative experience as a
program coordinator, program director, or 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.
