This is a full-time position and will have teaching and administrative responsibilities in the Master of Science in Foreign Service (MSFS) Program.

International Development is one of three concentrations within MSFS; the other two are Global Politics and Security, and Global Business and Finance. The Chair is responsible for strategic planning and development for the concentration and for assisting with the selection, recruitment, and preparation of faculty for the Concentration.

The Chair will teach three semester-length courses per academic year in his/her area of specialization. Ideally, this will include a required course on development theory for students in the Concentration. The Chair also serves as an academic and career advisor to approximately 50-60 students in the Concentration.

The Concentration Chair will have an academic background in the field of international development, broadly defined. Extensive work in the developing world managing a range of development activities is highly desirable. The successful candidate will also have experience in conceiving, planning, managing and evaluating multi-stakeholder partnerships in development.
