Duke University
Sanford School of Public Policy
 Adjunct Professor of the Practice of National Security Policy 

The Sanford School of Public Policy at Duke University invites seasoned national security policy professionals to apply to teach a “Leadership in the National Security Environment” course in our hybrid Executive Masters of National Security Policy for mid-career students seeking to advance in their leadership roles in the national security policy realm in the public and private sectors. The selected candidate will build and deliver a core, required course in the Master of National Security Policy | Sanford School of Public Policy (duke.edu).  The first term of instruction will be Summer 2023.

Applicants will be able to retain professional engagement elsewhere while teaching in the program. As a hybrid program, responsibilities include teaching synchronously online, building asynchronous online content, and occasional on-campus immersion sessions. 

Duke University and the Sanford School of Public Policy are strongly committed to advancing inclusive excellence throughout our research, teaching, and service activities. A diverse faculty – defined broadly as representing a wide range of identities, lived experiences, and perspectives – is a prerequisite for excellence and is essential to driving innovation within our scholarly community. To achieve these goals, it is essential that all members of the community feel valued and welcome, that the contributions of all individuals are respected, and that all voices are heard. All members of our community are expected to uphold these values, and we seek to hire faculty who are passionate about increasing the participation and success of individuals from all different backgrounds and communities. 

Applicants should have a Master’s degree or higher and substantial professional experience in such areas of national security policy and policymaking as defense, diplomacy, development, leadership, ethics, cyber, technology, terrorism, biological threats, and/or global environment. Experience creating and executing applied learning experiences such as simulations, war games, table-top exercises, and leading client-based research programs is a plus, as is online teaching experience. Policy research and writing are of interest, but not required. 

Applicants may reside in NC or in any of the partner states with which Duke has employment agreements. 

The Sanford School includes a full-time faculty of almost 70 and offers an undergraduate major, three other Master’s programs, and a Ph.D. program. Current faculty members have degrees in a variety of disciplines including demography, economics, history, law, medicine, philosophy, political science, psychology/social psychology, public policy, public health/health policy, and sociology. The Sanford School houses several interdisciplinary research centers and offers degree-related programs and opportunities in Washington, China, Scotland, London, and Geneva. More information on the Sanford School can be found at www.sanford.duke.edu. 

Candidates should submit a letter of application that traces their professional experience and makes it clear why they would be interested in joining the Sanford School of Public Policy and how their expertise would meet the needs of the curriculum. The letter, along with a CV and the names and contact information of three references (no letters at this stage).   Applications submitted by November 15, 2023, will be guaranteed consideration.
