Additional preference will be given to candidates with educational and teaching experience in the United States. The language of instruction is English.

In addition to teaching, other job responsibilities include collaborating with administration, staff, other faculty, students, and stakeholders to foster a climate of academic excellence, participating in the management of the campus through shared governance, and helping recruit students and faculty to the campus.

All full-time faculty appointments are 12 months (non-tenure track) with the length of the contract negotiable up to an initial term of 3 years. The term may be extended at any time by agreement. Depending on enrollment patterns, faculty may be asked to teach during the summer. In lieu of teaching during the summer, faculty are expected to engage in relevant scholarly activity. The academic calendar will be very similar to most institutions in the United States, approximately August 15 – May 15 annually, with the summer term running from last week of May to end of June.

Faculty must meet all relevant qualifications for similar employment at Arkansas State University. However, faculty will NOT become employees of Arkansas State University – instead, they will be employed by a private sector foundation registered in Mexico for this purpose. All non-Mexican national faculty members must qualify for employment as a foreign worker in Mexico, with this process being managed by A-State Querétaro at no cost to the faculty member.

Compensation in Mexican pesos will be guided by prevailing Mexican rates for university faculty with the expectation that A-State CQ intends to be a preferred employer among institutions of higher education in Mexico.
