Job Details

The Department of English in the College of Arts and Sciences at Texas A&M University invites applicants for two full time 9-month appointment, academic professional track (non-tenure) lecturers to start in Spring 2026, with likely renewal depending on satisfactory performance. The anticipated start date for the position is January 1, 2026; classes begin on January 12, 2026.

Lecturers hold non-tenured appointments with primary responsibility for teaching.

Summer teaching for additional compensation is available, subject to departmental need and funding.

Texas A&M’s English department is home to an undergraduate major and minor, a minor in health humanities, a professional writing minor, a minor in science fiction studies, and MA and PhD programs.
