The School of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences at The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV) occasionally has the need to hire Part-time Lecturers to teach in its Bachelor of Science Mathematics and Statistics program on the Edinburg/Brownsville campuses. Responsibilities include delivering quality instruction within the program. Lecturers will be responsible for teaching undergraduate College Algebra, Elementary Statistical Methods, and/or other introductory courses in the School.

The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV) was created by the Texas Legislature in 2013 as the first major public university of the 21st century in Texas. This transformative initiative provided the opportunity to expand educational opportunities in the Rio Grande Valley, including a new School of Medicine, and made it possible for residents of the region to benefit from the Permanent University Fund – a public endowment contributing support to the University of Texas System and other institutions.

UTRGV has campuses and off-campus research and teaching sites throughout the Rio Grande Valley including in Boca Chica Beach, Brownsville (formerly The University of Texas at Brownsville campus), Edinburg (formerly The University of Texas-Pan American campus), Harlingen, McAllen, Port Isabel, Rio Grande City, and South Padre Island. UTRGV, a comprehensive academic institution, enrolled its first class in the fall of 2015, and the School of Medicine welcomed its first class in the summer of 2016.
