Qualifications
DKI APCSS seeks qualified candidates at the level of Associate Professor or Professor specializing in Regional Security Architecture, Access, Basing, Overflight, and Force Posture to join the Department of Allies & Partners.
The successful candidate will educate civilian and military security practitioners on the strategic, political, diplomatic, and operational foundations of collective security in the Indo-Pacific. The position focuses on how regional security architecture, alliances and partnerships, access agreements, basing, overflight, force posture, operational access, logistics, and sustainment contribute to credible deterrence, crisis response, collective defense, and sustained operations.
A central purpose of the position is to deepen regional understanding of how access, basing, overflight, and force posture-enabled by trusted political, diplomatic, and security relationships-contribute to credible deterrence and collective security. The successful candidate will examine these issues from the perspectives of the United States, allies, and partners and help practitioners understand the national interests, political considerations, agreements, infrastructure, and relationships that enable effective regional access and posture.
The successful candidate's 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.
