About Texas A&M University – Central Texas

Established as an independent member of the Texas A&M University System in 2009, A&M-Central Texas is a friendly and dynamic regional teaching institution that prides itself on excellence in instruction, but also embraces a growing emphasis on research. A&M-Central Texas is truly unique in that it is an upper- and masters-level institution, offering only junior- and senior-level coursework needed to successfully complete baccalaureate degrees and all coursework leading to the completion of master’s degrees. As such, A&M-Central Texas maintains active partnerships with the major community colleges within the Austin and Central Texas region, as well with Fort Hood, a premier outpost of the U.S. Army and one of the largest military installations in the world. Our multifaceted student demographic includes a significant proportion of first‑generation college students, non‑traditional learners, and military-affiliated personnel. The College of Business Administration is accredited by AACSB, and we are eager to have dynamic and collegial new faculty members partner with us in pursuit of our major strategic initiatives, of which there are many on the near horizon (most notably, a DBA program anticipated to launch Fall 2027 pending SACSCOC final approval). This is an exciting time of rapid change within the College that affords new faculty members many opportunities to make an immediate, significant, and lasting impact. A&M-Central Texas is located on the southern edge of Killeen, TX, a city of approximately 150,000 located about halfway between Austin and Waco—about 60 miles either way. Our faculty members enjoy a wide variety of living options by virtue of the culture in the area—from quiet and rural to bustling and cosmopolitan. It is an easy drive to great art, food, shopping, and night life as well as to hunting, fishing, hiking, and camping for those who prefer the outdoors. Central Texas is also a great place for families, with many options for schooling, worship, civic engagement, and recreation. It also has light traffic and a reasonable cost of living. The major metropolitan areas of Houston, Dallas‑Fort Worth, and San Antonio are all within a 3‑hour radius of Killeen.

Responsibilities

The candidate will be expected to provide quality, engaging instruction for typically three courses of undergraduate business strategy per term, primarily at the undergraduate level and in a variety of course delivery formats (face‑to‑face, online, or hybrid), with fully online being the most in-demand option at present. Summer teaching opportunities may also available as dictated by student demand and department needs. Some scholarly contributions are also required. The candidate is expected have sufficient scholarly and/or professional activities to have “scholarly academic” status upon arrival per AACSB faculty classifications, and to have a healthy pipeline of works in progress, where health is measured more by viability and impact than by volume. Scholarship is but one category of currency and impact with which faculty may engage: others include maintaining a recognized professional certification, presenting at academic conferences, engaging in consulting or other industry‑related activities, and completing other relevant professional training and development activities. Professional development funds are available to support all of these endeavors, and faculty within the College frequently collaborate on research projects together. In regard to service, faculty are expected to support the department, college, and university with committee work, but first‑year faculty are exempt from this. In addition, faculty are expected to have some sort of service to their profession and/or to the community, but again, service contribution impact and quality are more important than the numbers of activities engaged in. Faculty generally have a lot of discretion in determining how best they can add value through their various service activities. A Presidential Proclamation issued on September 19, 2025, imposes a $100,000 fee on all new H‑1B petitions filed after September 21, 2025, and Texas A&M University–Central Texas will not pay this fee. Additionally, a moratorium issued by Governor Abbott on January 27, 2026, restricts the filing of new H‑1B petitions unless approved by the Texas Workforce Commission. Accordingly, if you will now or in the future require sponsorship for employment visa status this moratorium may affect our ability to employ you should you be selected as the final candidate. Applicants must be authorized to work for any U.S. employer.
