Texas A&M University–Victoria enrolls approximately 3,300 students.   This position is in Victoria, TX. The successful applicant is expected to play a large role in supporting undergraduate teaching, thus contributing to campus and student life in Victoria. The Political Science faculty serves a variety of needs for the institution. The undergraduate program serves students seeking the residential experience through face-to-face classes in Victoria and non-traditional students seeking a degree through online programs. Faculty also teach core Political Science courses at the lower division for all undergraduate students. Partnerships with local high schools have also expanded and dual credit students take lower division core Political Science courses.  Position summary:  Candidates will be required to teach a combination of courses in the Political Science undergraduate program. The candidate will mentor undergraduate students. Candidates are expected to maintain excellence in teaching; participate in course and program development; perform other duties as assigned by the Dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences and the Chair of the Department of Social Science; and perform all other related activities as required.
