Job Description

Texas A&M International University (TAMIU), a member of the Texas A&M University System, welcomes applicants for an Assistant Professor of Systems Engineering to begin Fall 2025.

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 tenure-track (9-month) position. Primary duties will include building an independent research program to raise the research profile of the School of Engineering, publishing research in highly ranked journals, teaching undergraduate and future graduate courses and being an active academic service role model. A reduced teaching load is available to allow new hires to establish their research program at the university. Moreover, course buyouts are available tied to grant funding obtained by the faculty. Duties also include conceiving senior design projects, soliciting projects from industry, and cultivating a research-oriented culture among students. This position requires face-to-face interactions through a regular schedule of attendance on campus and in the workplace.

The School of Engineering, with thriving enrollment, has ABET-accredited programs in Systems, Computer, and Petroleum Engineering. A transdisciplinary graduate program in Systems Engineering is currently pending final approval from the state and will possibly launch in Fall 2025.

Required Qualifications

The successful candidate must hold a PhD in Systems Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Engineering Management, or a related discipline. Candidates with degrees in Computer Engineering or Electrical Engineering with relevant experience to Systems Engineering and the proposed graduate program concentrations (analytics and automation) will be considered as well but must meet appropriate faculty credentialing requirements as per SACSCOC. Applicants close to finishing their doctoral studies will be considered if their degree completion is prior to the start of the 2025-2026 academic year. We strongly encourage candidates with demonstrated experience in semiconductor manufacturing (fabrication). Other areas of interest are healthcare systems engineering, digital logistics, cyber forensics, critical infrastructure systems, transportation engineering, and VR/AR/ER applications.

We offer competitive salaries and a benefits package including health insurance, retirement benefits, and life insurance. Additional pay is available for summer teaching. 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.

Application Process

The first review of applications will start on 11/2/2024 and will continue until the position is filled. The completed employment application must include:

• Letter of interest or cover letter that addresses qualifications
• A statement of research interests, experience, and future plans
• A statement of teaching experience and philosophy
• Current curriculum vitae
• Unofficial transcripts specifying conferred/ABD degree
• Names and contact information of three current professional references
