Job Description
Application Deadline:
March 6, 2026 (soft deadline)
Position Details:
This full-time faculty position is on-campus and in-person.
The Department of Mathematics at Texas Christian University (TCU)
invites applications for a full-time Instructor (open rank)
position beginning August 2026. Instructorships are ongoing and
renewable non-tenure-track teaching-oriented positions with a
three-tiered promotion track. Candidates must be eligible to work
in the U.S. and must possess a Master’s degree or Ph.D. by August
2026 in Mathematics, Statistics, or equivalent field. A Ph.D. and
ability to teach elementary statistics are preferred. Duties will
include teaching an average of 12 hours per semester and department
and university service. Demonstrated excellence in teaching is
required, and professional development should continue. Research is
welcomed, but neither required nor expected. The department is
especially interested in qualified candidates who can contribute to
the excellence and diversity of the academic community through
their teaching and service.
Department Details:
The Department of Mathematics is a small, collegial unit, currently
with 21 full-time faculty members. The department serves
approximately 125 majors in Math, Actuarial Science, and Data
Science and has a small graduate program offering Master’s and
Doctoral degrees in Mathematics.
School/College Description:
The TCU College of Science & Engineering (CSE) encompasses 10
departments (Biology, Chemistry & Biochemistry, Computer
Science, Engineering, Environmental Sciences, Geological Sciences,
Mathematics, Nutritional Sciences, Physics & Astronomy, and
Psychology) as well the Ranch Management Program, which offers both
an undergraduate degree and a one-year certificate program. The
College is also home to the Pre-Health Professions Institute, the
Karyn Purvis Institute for Child Development, the Institute of
Behavioral Research, and the Institute for Ranch Management. The
College is the second largest at TCU in terms of both undergraduate
enrollment and number of majors. CSE contains a disproportionate
percentage of high-achieving students, as evidenced by the fact
that almost one-half of the students in the Honors College have
majors in the College of Science & Engineering. Research
opportunities abound for undergraduates, with 46 percent of majors
engaging in a substantive experience during which they work
one-on-one with their faculty mentor. The College also has five
doctoral programs and 16 master’s programs as well as two graduate
certificate programs. The College faculty are true
teacher-scholars, for whom instruction and research are viewed as
complementary activities.

metro. As the nation’s 11th-largest city, with a rapidly growing

relationship that spans more than a century — one that continues to

by the region’s thriving job market. Part of the Dallas-Fort Worth
metropolitan area — the nation’s fourth-largest and a top tourism
destination — Fort Worth earned recognition from U.S. News &
World Report in 2025 as the No. 4 best big city to live in the
