Professor of the Practice, Non Tenure Track
The University of Southern California School of International Relations in the Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences in Los Angeles, California, seeks to appoint a full-time or part-time professor of the practice on the non-tenure track, preferably as an associate or full professor of the practice although an appointment as assistant professor of the practice is also possible. The new faculty member will teach and advise students in two areas: BA students in the School of International Relations and MA students in Public Diplomacy. The latter is a pioneering program offered jointly by Dornsife College and the Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism. Candidates should have practical experience in foreign policy and/or diplomacy on behalf of a country or international organization. Experience analyzing and/or communicating with mass publics overseas via the media and cultural exchanges is desirable. Experience teaching on the post-graduate and college level is also desirable, and demonstrated management skills would be an advantage. A Ph.D. degree is welcome but not mandatory if commensurate professional experience exists. Depending on rank, this appointment potentially can be made for a term of up to five years and may be renewable.
Please send curriculum vitae, copies of syllabi and student evaluations if available, a cover letter explaining why you might be a good fit, and contact information for three possible references.
