Houston offers a great professional and personal environment. The two largest economic sectors are energy and medical research and services; there is a large number of manufacturing and technology businesses, many of them spawned by decades of NASA operations in the Houston area. Four out of five jobs are service and professional jobs. The cost of living supports a high quality of life, where one can have suburban living in the heart of a great metropolis city.

Official transcripts are required for a faculty appointment and will be requested upon selection of the final candidate.

All positions at the University of Houston-System are security sensitive and will require a criminal history check. Individuals conducting research in critical infrastructure areas (i.e., communication infrastructure systems, cybersecurity systems, electric grid, hazardous waste treatment systems, and/or water treatment facilities) are subject to regular review to ensure the security and integrity of the research is maintained.
