Associate Lecturer Jobs in Texas (NOW HIRING)

Description
The Marine Engineering Technology Department (MARE) in the College of Marine Sciences & Maritime Studies at Texas A&M University located on the Galveston Campus invites applications for up to 5 full-time Academic Professional Track (Non-Tenure) and/or part-time Temporary/Part-Time (Non-Tenure) positions at the (Visiting) Instructional Assistant Professor, (Visiting) Instructional Associate Professor, (Visiting) Instructional Professor, (Visiting) Assistant Professor of the Practice, (Visiting) Associate Professor of the Practice, (Visiting) Professor of the Practice, (Visiting) Lecturer, (Visiting) Senior Lecturer, or (Visiting) Principal Lecturer, with the titles and ranks depending on background, qualifications, and experience with a 4.5-month or 9-month academic appointment, and the possibility of an additional summer appointment contingent upon need and availability of funds, beginning in fall 2026 or spring 2027.
Successful applicants will be responsible for the organization, delivery, evaluation, and assessment of marine, electrical, or mechanical engineering, auxiliary systems, diesel/steam/gas turbine propulsion, green and sustainable shipping, offshore engineering, decarbonization, naval architecture, shipbuilding, blue energy, and/or marine alternative fuels courses and student outcomes and assessments associated with those courses. Successful applicants will also advise and mentor students; participate in all aspects of the department's activities, including outreach; and serve the profession.
Academic Professional Track (APT) faculty are valued members of the professorial community at the College of Marine Sciences and Maritime Studies. APT faculty work under nine-month contracts, with the expectation of renewal dependent upon effective undergraduate and/or graduate teaching and service to the College, University, and/or professional community. APT contracts offer multi-year appointments after promotion, and a promotion ladder is available for those who choose teaching as their career.
Our goal is to produce highly skilled graduates with a strong background in engineering fundamentals, mathematics, and analytical methods, which is reinforced by practical machine shop, welding, and laboratory experiences (including several on the training ship). The curriculum builds on a foundation of essential engineering topics, including fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, electricity, drafting, and materials science, to develop the interdisciplinary skills required for the practice of marine engineering.

Texas A&M University at Galveston is the dedicated marine and maritime branch campus of Texas A&M University. The campus houses several institutions that are critical contributors to Texas A&M's land-, sea-, and space-grant mission and drive the development of the blue economy on the Gulf Coast through education, innovation, scholarship, and research.
Home to the Texas A&M College of Marine Sciences & Maritime Studies (https://marine.tamu.edu/index.html), students can earn undergraduate and graduate degrees in marine sciences, business, blue humanities, marine engineering, and maritime transportation. Students may also pursue select Galveston-specific degrees at the Texas A&M College of Engineering, including computer science, ocean engineering, and interdisciplinary engineering.
Texas A&M-Galveston is also home to the Texas A&M Maritime Academy, one of six state maritime academies in the U.S. and the only one embedded within a Tier I research institution. Offering hands-on training to over 400 cadets annually, the academy prepares students to earn a U.S. Coast Guard License and serve as maritime professionals, afloat and ashore, or enter military service upon graduation.
Ideally situated in Galveston Bay, the island campus is surrounded by marine life, estuarine and ocean ecosystems, and one of the largest maritime industrial hubs in the world, allowing Galveston Aggies to live, learn and work in the heart of the industries they will soon serve. Whether their careers take them shoreside or on the water, Aggies are ready for anything above, on, and below the waves.
Texas A&M University is committed to enriching the learning and working environments for all visitors, students, faculty, and staff, which is vital to accomplishing our mission and living our core values.
