Texas A&M International University (TAMIU), a member of the Texas A&M University System, welcomes applicants for an Assistant Professor of Computer Engineering 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 tenure-track faculty position in Computer Engineering. Primary duties will include teaching undergraduate and future graduate courses, and be an active academic service role model. A reduced teaching load is available to allow new hires to establish their research program at the university. Moreover, course buyouts are available through internal processes tied to grant funding obtained by the faculty. Candidates will also need to build an independent externally funded research program to raise the research profile of the School of Engineering. Duties also include participating in ABET accreditation activities such as assessment and evaluation of student outcomes and other service activities as needed by the School of Engineering. This position requires face-to-face interactions through a regular schedule of attendance on campus and in the workplace. 

The School of Engineering has ABET-accredited programs in Systems, Computer, and Petroleum Engineering. A Master of Science in Systems Engineering will be launched in Fall 2026. Engineering faculty have diverse research interests: Robotics, mobile autonomous vehicles, AI, operations research, and intelligent systems.

Required Qualifications

The successful candidate must hold an earned Ph.D. Degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related discipline. Applicants close to finishing a Ph.D. will be considered if their degree completion is prior to the start of the 2026-2027 academic year. We strongly encourage candidates with experience in Embedded Systems, Robotics, Internet of Things, Quantum Computing, Computer Architecture, High-Performance Computing, Cybersecurity, or Cyber Forensics, to apply, although all specializations will be considered. The successful candidate must demonstrate the potential to publish research in highly ranked venues and contribute to interdisciplinary collaborations. The successful candidate must be able to teach topics such as Circuit Design, Embedded Systems, Microprocessor Systems, Signals & Systems, and other computer engineering courses. 

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.
