DEAN OF INTERNATIONAL PROGRAMS AND MARITIME SECURITY COOPERATION

Dean of International Programs (IP). The Dean leads the U.S. Naval War College's educational, research and engagement efforts with allies and partners. The Dean reports directly to the Provost and is ultimately responsible to the PNWC for the success of the College's International Programs.

Responsibilities. The Dean of International Programs (IP) oversees the College's vigorous Security Cooperation Program that focuses upon the academic requirements of the international naval community. The Dean develops and delivers curriculum. The Dean is responsible for the administrative, financial, and housing requirements of approximately 200 international students, as well as their dependents, attending the College each year. The Dean operates a robust Field Studies Program that includes extensive travel around the United States. The Dean supervises the IP faculty and staff and manages a large departmental budget that incorporates both Title 10 and 22 funds. The Dean communicates directly with both national and international stakeholders of the College, supervises the Chief of Naval Operations' biennial International Seapower Symposium, and executes annual Regional Alumni Symposiums around the world.

Qualifications. The President seeks candidates who are successful, proven leaders with extensive experience in international engagement. A master's degree in Security Studies, International Relations, Regional Studies, or a relevant, related field is required. An earned PhD or other terminal degree is desired but not required. The ideal candidate will have an understanding of the mission the college accomplishes for the Navy and the Department of Defense, a background in education, extensive experience in security cooperation, the ability to lead a diverse group of faculty and staff, and competence in financial/resource management.

Appointment. The appointment is governed by provisions of 10 USC 8748 as delegated by the Secretary of the Navy, and the regulations of the U.S. Office of Personnel Management that apply to "Excepted" appointments under Schedule A. For the successful candidate, the initial term of appointment is expected to be four years in length with provision for renewal dependent on performance. This is not a remote work position; however, the incumbent may be eligible for telework as determined by policy and the position requirements. The incumbent may be expected to travel on occasion.

Salary Considerations. Salary is competitive and is accompanied by a generous federal employee benefits package that includes health insurance with employer contribution, retirement savings plan, paid vacation and sick leave, and other benefits. Academic rank and salary are commensurate with experience and credentials in accordance with Department of the Navy Faculty Schedule and NWC policy.
