This is a public notice flyer to notify interested applicants of anticipated vacancies. Applications will not be accepted through this flyer. Interested applicants must follow the directions in the "How to Apply" section of this flyer to be considered. There may or may not be actual vacancies filled from this flyer. Notice of Result letters will not be sent to applicants who respond to this flyer.
Qualifications:DKI APCSS seeks qualified candidates at the level of Associate Professor or Professor specializing in Executive Decision Gaming and Analysis.
The Center welcomes applications from established scholar-practitioners and exceptional early-career professionals. Academic rank and salary will be determined based on education, professional experience, scholarly record, teaching and facilitation experience, subject-matter expertise, leadership, and demonstrated capacity to contribute to the DKI APCSS mission.
The successful candidate will lead the development and integration of executive decision gaming and strategic analysis throughout the College of Security Studies, using structured decision experiences to strengthen executive education and examine consequential Indo-Pacific security problems.
The position encompasses two complementary applications. Educational decision gaming enables civilian and military security practitioners to apply concepts, exercise judgment, confront uncertainty and competing interests, test assumptions, and evaluate alternative courses of action. Analytical gaming brings faculty, Fellows, and other practitioners together to examine consequential strategic problems; explore actor behavior and interaction; challenge assumptions; identify vulnerabilities and opportunities; and generate insights relevant to DKI APCSS, U.S. defense stakeholders, and Indo-Pacific partners.
The position extends beyond traditional force-on-force or Red-versus-Blue wargaming constructs. Depending on the problem and objective, methods may include strategic decision games, tabletop exercises, matrix games, crisis simulations, negotiation exercises, policy games, scenario-based simulations, and other structured approaches.
The position spans the full process from problem framing and game design through execution, observation, analysis, and translation of findings into educational and policy-relevant insights.
Candidates are not expected to possess expertise in every gaming, analytical, educational, or technological methodology. DKI APCSS seeks individuals with demonstrated expertise in relevant decision-gaming or analytical methods and the intellectual breadth and professional commitment to develop and integrate complementary approaches appropriate to executive education and strategic inquiry.
Faculty members at DKI APCSS are educators, facilitators, curriculum designers, action officers, researchers, mentors, and institutional leaders. They plan and execute executive education courses, workshops, strategic dialogues, and regional engagements; develop and facilitate curriculum; conduct policy-relevant research; and build relationships with security professionals throughout the Indo-Pacific.
Essential Criteria
  • An advanced degree in security studies, international relations, political science, public policy, military studies, education, instructional design, systems analysis, operations research, or another relevant field. A doctorate or other terminal degree is preferred.
  • Demonstrated expertise or substantial professional experience in decision gaming, analytical gaming, strategic gaming, wargaming, exercise design, simulation, or closely related structured decision methodologies.
  • Demonstrated ability or strong potential to translate complex strategic or policy problems into structured educational or analytical activities that support learning, inquiry, or decision-making.
  • Demonstrated ability or strong potential to design and facilitate decision games, exercises, simulations, or comparable structured decision experiences.
  • Demonstrated understanding of adult-learning principles, curriculum design, learning objectives, and educational assessment, or the ability to apply these principles effectively in executive education.
  • Demonstrated ability or strong potential to teach, facilitate, and mentor adult learners from diverse professional, national, and cultural backgrounds.
  • Demonstrated ability or strong potential to conduct research, analyze complex problems, and produce scholarly or policy-relevant work.
  • Ability to communicate complex concepts clearly to practitioner audiences and translate them into effective learning experiences and analytical products.
  • Strong organizational skills and demonstrated ability to plan, coordinate, and execute complex projects or programs.
  • Ability to collaborate effectively with subject-matter experts and multidisciplinary teams.
  • Ability to use contemporary technologies and digital tools in research, teaching, collaboration, decision gaming, analysis, and program execution.
  • Demonstrated commitment to the DKI APCSS mission and to advancing security cooperation and understanding throughout the Indo-Pacific.
Desired Criteria
Demonstrated expertise, research, or professional experience in one or more of the following areas:
  • Educational and analytical decision gaming
  • Strategic game design and facilitation
  • Strategic problem and sponsor requirement framing
  • Analytical question development and research design
  • Scenario and alternative-futures development
  • Facilitation and adjudication
  • Observation, qualitative data collection, and analysis
  • Game analysis, after-action analysis, and reporting
  • Executive education and adult learning
  • Educational assessment and learning evaluation
Supporting Expertise

  • Systems thinking and systems analysis
  • Strategic foresight
  • Red teaming
  • Structured analytic techniques
  • Decision analysis
  • Modeling and simulation
  • Artificial intelligence and AI-enabled gaming and education
  • Digital collaboration, visualization, and decision-support tools
Experience refers to paid and unpaid experience, including volunteer work done through National Service programs (e.g., professional, philanthropic, religious, spiritual, community, student, social). Volunteer work helps build critical competencies, knowledge, and skills and can provide valuable training and experience that translates directly to paid employment.
