Texas Tech University is undertaking the most ambitious growth project since its inception in 1923. In order to become the state’s next national research university, we are seeking faculty who are leaders in their field and who have a passion to teach. We have about 100 faculty positions open and seven endowed chairs to fill. While focusing on quality undergraduate enrollment growth, we are also developing new programs to attract the best and brightest graduate students. This year and next we will dedicate $4 million to a new Doctoral Fellowship Initiative. From the arts to the sciences, Texas Tech offers a breadth of courses to its almost 30,000 students. The enthusiasm is palpable and the energy infectious. There is no better time to be at Texas Tech University. From here, it’s possible.
