Job Description

Texas A&M International University (TAMIU), a member of the Texas A&M University System, welcomes applicants for a/an Assistant Professor of Transportation and International Logistics to begin Fall 2026.

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 9-month, tenure-track Assistant Professor faculty position. Primary duties will include teaching courses (a reduced teaching load for the first years of hire) and engaging in scholarly publications, reflecting the School’s strong emphasis on research productivity. Faculty enjoy access to comprehensive research resources, including WRDS, Bloomberg, CRSP, and DataStream, as well as Ph.D. student research assistance. The successful candidate will be expected to demonstrate and sustain excellence in teaching, maintain an active research agenda leading to publications in reputable, discipline-based peer-reviewed journals, and contribute to service and engagement activities consistent with the School’s mission and AACSB accreditation standards. Duties also include service to the department, college, and university. This position requires face-to-face interactions through a regular schedule of attendance on campus and in the workplace.

The AACSB-accredited Sanchez School offers a PhD in International Business Administration and is home to The International Trade Journal, indexed in Web of Science. To further advance impactful scholarship, faculty are encouraged to collaborate with any of our four Centers of Academic Excellence.

Required Qualifications

The successful candidate must hold a PhD/DBA in Business or a closely related field and have at least 18 hours of graduate coursework in Transportation or International Logistics. ABDs can also be considered if they are in a position to complete their degree before the start date. We strongly encourage candidates with research focuses on international logistics and business phenomena, particularly those who can leverage Laredo, Texas’s status as the #1 port in the Americas and its vibrant ecosystem of transportation, logistics, customs, technology-driven, and trade-related organizations.

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.
