Job Description

The College of Engineering and Computing at Texas A&M University-Texarkana, invites applications for a full-time, nine-month, tenure-track faculty position in Chemical Engineering at the rank of Assistant Professor or Associate Professor, beginning Spring or Fall 2027. The successful candidate will also serve as Program Coordinator for the Chemical Engineering Program. This is a rare opportunity for an energetic and collaborative faculty member to help launch a new Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering program serving students and employers across Northeast Texas, the Ark-La-Tex region, and beyond. The successful candidate will contribute to the University’s R2 research aspirations by developing a productive research program, pursuing external funding, and engaging students in meaningful research.

The successful candidate will demonstrate a strong commitment to student success through research, teaching, mentoring, and academic advising. Working with the Engineering Division Chair, faculty, and Dean, the individual will help implement the 124-semester-credit-hour curriculum; establish teaching and research laboratories; develop an ABET-aligned assessment process; build industry and research partnerships; and advance the goals of the program, college, and University.

The program will provide a rigorous foundation in thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, heat and mass transfer, reaction engineering, process control, and process design. Areas of distinction will include forest products and pulp and paper, lithium-rich brines, Direct Lithium Extraction, lithium refining, critical-mineral processing, and battery materials. These areas offer opportunities for interdisciplinary research, external funding, graduate education, and industry collaboration. Students will gain experience through laboratories, undergraduate research, engineering design, industry-sponsored projects, internships, and other experiential learning opportunities.

ESSENTIAL DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES:

  • Establish an active scholarly program involving peer-reviewed publications, external funding, and meaningful undergraduate research appropriate to the rank.
  • Teach undergraduate chemical engineering courses and laboratories and selected interdisciplinary engineering courses.
  • Develop courses, laboratory experiences, and instructional materials supporting the 124-credit-hour curriculum and the Pulp and Paper Technology certificate.
  • Serve as Program Coordinator by supporting curriculum planning, course scheduling, academic policies, admissions review, advising, student recruitment and retention, and program assessment in collaboration with faculty and college leadership
  • Assess student learning and use results to improve courses and program effectiveness.
  • Advise and mentor students on academic, research, professional, and career matters.
  • Contribute to curriculum development, ABET preparation, continuous improvement, and accreditation.
  • Lead or support the development, safe operation, and improvement of chemical engineering teaching and research laboratories.
  • Build partnerships in pulp and paper, forest products, specialty chemicals, advanced manufacturing, energy, lithium extraction, and critical-mineral processing.
  • Participate in student recruitment, retention, outreach, and program promotion.
