U.S. AIR WAR COLLEGE

Two Visiting Professorships, all ranks

The U. S. Air War College, located at Maxwell Air Force Base in Montgomery, Alabama, seeks applications for two visiting professorships in the Department of International Security Studies. Visiting Professors must have expertise in international security issues as well as regional expertise (Asia or Europe is particularly desired although all regional specialties will be considered). Expertise and/or scholarly work in energy security would be a plus.

These positions are for one- or two-year, renewable terms starting in July 2009 and ending in July 2013. The Air War College provides a dynamic academic environment for research and teaching. The academic program offers a Master's Degree in Strategic Studies to senior military officers and civilian officials from the United States and to senior officers from 45 other nations. 

Visiting faculty will teach in two core courses and one elective course. Successful candidates will have a Ph. D. in a relevant discipline and a record of scholarly publications. Graduate level teaching experience and/or equivalent professional experience is required.

These professorships are governed under the Intergovernmental Personnel Act (5 USC section 3371 through 3375, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 5, Chapter 334) available at: http://ecfr.gpoaccess.gov/cgi/t/text/text-idx?c=ecfr&rgn=div5&view=text&node=5:1.0.1.2.46&idno=5. The positions will remain open until filled, with initial screening to begin immediately.
