Job Description

Texas A&M International University (TAMIU), a member of the Texas A&M University System, welcomes applicants for a Assistant Professor of Finance 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 faculty position with reduced course load to allow for scholarly work. Primary duties will include teaching courses. An initial teaching load of six credit hours per semester (two courses), reflecting our strong emphasis on research. Faculty benefit from access to robust research resources-including WRDS, Bloomberg, CRSP, and DataStream-as well as PhD student assistance. The successful candidate is expected to demonstrate and sustain a commitment to teaching excellence, publish in reputable, discipline-based peer-reviewed journals, and meet university expectations aligned with our institutional vision and AACSB accreditation. 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 Finance or a closely related field with at least 18 hours of graduate coursework in Finance from an AACSB-accredited school. ABDs can also be considered if they are in a position to complete their degree before the start date. We strongly encourage candidates with whose research focuses on international finance/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.

Application Process

The first review of applications will be 9/15/2025 and will continue until the position is filled. The completed employment application must include:

• Letter of interest or cover letter that addresses qualifications
• Current curriculum vitae
• Unofficial transcripts specifying conferred/ABD degree
