Description

The Department of Marketing at Mays Business School, Texas A&M University, invites applications for a full-time, tenure-track position with a 9-month academic appointment beginning Fall 2025.

The marketing field is rapidly evolving as a result of technological advances and macroeconomic changes. Our department seeks to hire scholars who can study current and relevant marketing problems that consumers and organizations are confronted with. We are focused, in particular, on adding faculty whose research has relevance to such marketing problems and is potentially impactful. Examples of relevant domains include the integration of new technologies in marketing practice and how new technologies affect consumer behavior, sustainability in consumption and in the marketing of products and services, automation and its consequences on consumer experiences, creating organic firm growth while reducing negative externalities, and others. As a department, we believe that hiring new colleagues who have expertise in these areas can help us further strengthen the quality of the education provided to our students as well as the quality of the research output that our department produces.
