The Department of Public Service and Administration (PSAA) in The Bush School of Government and Public Service at Texas A&M University invites nominations and applications for a tenure review upon hire position at the advanced associate professor or full professor level, starting in August 2027. The successful candidate will be expected to carry out a vigorous program of research, and actively contribute to undergraduate and graduate teaching and service to the university and the profession. The successful candidate at the full professor level will be nominated for appointment as the Hazel Davis and Robert M. Kennedy Endowed Chair in Government and Public Service.
Strong research and teaching interests across traditional subfields of public management and administration will be highly valued, as will the ability to teach core courses in public administration (such as state and local policy and management, public budgeting, public management, cross-sector collaboration, leadership, ethics, and program evaluation) at the undergraduate and graduate levels. The position is a full-time, 9-month appointment with a standard 2-2 teaching load.
The Bush School of Government and Public Service was founded in 1997 under President George H. W. Bush’s philosophy that “public service is a noble calling.” Since then, the Bush School has continued to reflect that notion in curriculum, research, and student experience and has become a leading international affairs, political science, and public affairs institution. PSAA faculty at the Bush School teach courses in both the master’s degree and new undergraduate major in Public Service and Administration. Faculty in PSAA benefit from opportunities for collaboration across the Bush School's programs in public policy, public management, nonprofit management, homeland security, and related fields. Additional information about the Bush School and department is available at http://bush.tamu.edu.
Applicants must have a doctorate in public policy, public administration, public affairs, economics, political science or a related field and must demonstrate a commitment to high quality research and teaching in a professional school of public affairs. Applications will be reviewed beginning October 30, 2026, and continue until the position is filled.
