The U.S. Naval War College, Newport, RI, invites applications for an anticipated faculty appointment, open with respect to rank, in the Strategy and Policy Department. The Department seeks candidates with scholarly attainment/potential, teaching experience, and particular expertise in the fields of war studies, international relations, international security affairs, political economy, regional studies, diplomatic and international history, or naval and military history. The Department particularly encourages applications from candidates with expertise in cyber warfare and strategy, the Greater Middle East and North Africa, and eastern Europe/Russia. This position is subject to final approval of funding. Responsibilities include teaching/developing courses in strategy, conducting research, engaging in other service of benefit to the College, and participating in outreach activities. The candidate will also participate in the College’s new Advanced Studies in Naval Strategy Program, designed to develop officers skilled at formulating, developing, and executing strategy in order to fill key positions in Navy, Joint, and high-level political staffs. Anticipated starting date is August 2015.
The Naval War College provides a one-year professional military education program to senior officers of all the armed services and civilians from a number of U.S. government agencies, leading to an accredited M.A. in National Security and Strategic Studies. Military officers from more than fifty countries also form part of the student body. The strategy courses use strategic theory, the history of war, and an examination of current-day conflicts to develop critical analytical skills for understanding the interrelationship of policy aims, strategy, and military operations. The interdisciplinary nature of the strategy courses requires that faculty members develop a breadth of knowledge well beyond their primary area of specialization. Additional details regarding the Naval War College and the Strategy and Policy Department curriculum can be obtained by visiting the Naval War College website at http://www.usnwc.edu/Departments---Colleges/Strategy-and-Policy.aspx.
