The Division of Arts and Sciences (https://www.qatar.tamu.edu/academics/arts-and-sciences/ ) at Texas A&M University at Qatar (TAMUQ) (http://www.qatar.tamu.edu/ ) invites applications for a non-tenure track faculty position at the rank of Instructional Assistant Professor, responsible primarily for teaching undergraduate physics courses at the university’s international branch campus in Qatar.
This position assumes a 9-month full-time academic appointment with an anticipated start date of Fall 2023, renewable on a yearly basis.

In addition, TAMUQ typically also offers summer appointments opportunities, and regular availability for teaching in the summer term is highly desirable. The successful candidate will also share the Division of Arts and Sciences’ commitment to teaching excellence and take part in the shared governance of its teaching and service missions.
Review of applications will start immediately and continue until the position is filled. The Division of Arts and Sciences is fully committed to a culturally and academically diverse faculty.

The Division of Arts and Sciences teaches courses in physics and other disciplines for TAMUQ's engineering students. The degree programs are identical to those of the main campus at College Station, Texas. A Texas A&M University diploma is awarded to graduates.
Doha is the home of Education City (https://www.qf.org.qa/education/higher-education ), a dedicated multi-university campus devoted to research and education. In addition to TAMUQ, Education City hosts several other academic institutions, including the Weill Cornell Medical School, Carnegie-Mellon University, Virginia Commonwealth University, Northwestern University, University College London, Georgetown University, and Hamad bin Khalifa University. As international institutions of higher learning, TAMUQ and its partners in Education City have significantly contributed to the development of post-secondary education and cultural growth in Qatar.
