Job Description

The College of Arts, Sciences, and Education at A&M University–Texarkana invites applications for a 12-month, tenured faculty appointment as Associate Professor or Professor of Psychology and Division Chair of Social and Behavioral Sciences (SBS), beginning in spring or fall 2027. Tenure upon appointment is subject to approval by The Texas A&M University System.

The SBS Division offers undergraduate programs in Criminal Justice, Political Science, Psychology, and Sociology, as well as graduate programs in Psychology. The Division Chair provides collaborative academic leadership, advances the quality and growth of all division programs, and oversees day-to-day operations in alignment with the missions and strategic priorities of the College and University. The Chair also maintains an active record of teaching, scholarship, and service appropriate to the administrative assignment.

Psychology is one of the University’s historically strong programs, serving approximately 160 students. It offers B.A., B.S., and M.S. degrees, provides dedicated research facilities, and encourages faculty-guided undergraduate and graduate research as a high-impact learning experience.

A&M University–Texarkana is located in East Texas between Dallas, Texas, and Little Rock, Arkansas. Established in 1971, the University joined The Texas A&M University System in 1996 and moved to its Bringle Lake campus in 2010.
