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.

Institutional and College Overview

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.  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 multiplicity 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 instruction for four or five courses per term, primarily at the undergraduate level and in a variety of course delivery formats (face-to-face, online, or hybrid).  This position will primarily support the BBA Marketing program by providing instruction in principles of marketing, services marketing, and promotional strategy, but course assignments may change according to evolving department needs.  In addition to supporting the BBA Marketing program, this faculty member will be expected to support department needs by teaching in one or more secondary areas.  At present, we have needs in project management, business ethics, and general management.  Our department faculty freely share course content with each other, and many courses are developed collaboratively.  Wherever possible, previous course syllabi and instructional content from current faculty will be shared with this candidate to minimize the volume of preparations that are required.  Faculty are also encouraged to propose and deliver new courses, often on a trial basis, to explore new content areas that add value to student career aspirations and to our academic programs.

While research output is not a key requirement for this position, the candidate is expected to engage in scholarly and/or professional activities sufficient to maintain “scholarly academic” or “professional academic” status per AACSB faculty classifications.  This could be achieved by producing scholarship, maintaining a recognized professional certification, attending academic or trade conferences, engaging in consulting or other industry-related activities, and/or by completing other relevant professional development activities (workshops, etc.).  Professional development funds are available to support this, and faculty within the College frequently collaborate on research projects together. 

Service expectations for this position will be limited primarily to those events, committees, or initiatives that support and promote the Management & Marketing Department and the College of Business Administration (e.g., recruiting events, department/college meetings, accreditation-related tasks, focus groups with industry partners, etc.). 

Minimum Qualifications:

To be eligible to apply for this position, candidates should:

• Possess a terminal degree (doctorate) in marketing or a closely-related discipline.  ABD applicants will not be considered. 
• Have at least three (3) years of full-time teaching experience at the baccalaureate level or higher
• Be eligible for the AACSB “scholarly academic” or “professional academic” faculty classification
• Have a documented track record of successfully teaching the primary courses needed for this position (marketing, services marketing, etc.)

Preferred Qualifications:

The ideal candidate for this position would also possess:

• Additional academic and/or professional qualifications to support teaching in secondary or tertiary disciplines
• At least two (2) additional years of full-time teaching experience, including graduate courses
• Industry experience, including ongoing engagement
• Program development and student recruiting experience
• Have a documented track record of successfully teaching courses in some of the secondary instructional areas listed above (project management, business ethics, etc.)

Salary: Commensurate

Hours: Variable faculty hours vary according to course schedule and modality. Nights and weekends may be required.
