Finance Professor Jobs in Texas: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a finance professor in Texas?

Becoming a finance professor in Texas typically requires earning a terminal degree, most often a Ph.D. in Finance or Economics, from an accredited institution. Texas does not issue a state teaching license for college-level faculty, so hiring decisions rest with individual institutions. Research universities prioritize a completed dissertation and a publication pipeline, while community colleges in the Texas State Technical College System and Lone Star College System often accept a master's degree plus relevant industry experience.

How much do finance professors make in Texas?

Finance professors in Texas earn a median of about $118,530 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $58,920 for the lowest 10% to over $221,670 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.

Which companies hire finance professors in Texas?

Employers hiring finance professors in Texas right now include Intuit, Optum, and First National Bank Texas, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. Texas's concentration of large public university systems and a growing number of private business schools keeps demand for qualified finance faculty relatively steady throughout the academic hiring cycle.

Which Texas cities have the most finance professor jobs?

Pearland, Plano, and Dallas consistently post the most finance professor openings in Texas. Austin anchors demand through the University of Texas flagship campus and a growing cluster of business schools tied to the city's finance and technology sector, while Houston and Dallas-Fort Worth draw additional postings from large private universities, regional campuses, and professional MBA programs tied to those metros' corporate headquarters.

Are there remote finance professor jobs in Texas?

Yes, but they remain a minority of openings given that most faculty roles include on-campus teaching, office hours, and departmental service obligations. About 29% of finance professor openings tied to Texas are remote or hybrid as of June 2026, with online-only appointments concentrated in continuing education programs and institutions that operate dedicated distance-learning divisions rather than traditional residential campuses.

How can I get hired as a finance professor in Texas with little or no experience?

The most realistic entry path is a visiting assistant professor or postdoctoral teaching fellowship, which large Texas research universities such as the University of Houston and Texas Tech University periodically post for recent doctoral graduates. Candidates without a completed Ph.D. can pursue adjunct or lecturer roles at Texas community colleges, where a master's degree and industry experience in areas like corporate treasury, lending, or financial planning often satisfy minimum qualifications and provide classroom credentials that strengthen later applications to tenure-track positions.

Where can I find and apply to finance professor jobs in Texas?

You can find and apply to finance professor jobs in Texas on Migrate Mate, which lists current Texas openings across universities, colleges, and professional programs. Search the available roles, identify the ones that match your background and preferences, and apply directly to the positions that fit.
