Conditions of Employment
Qualifications
Duties and Responsibilities. For many decades, one of the principal missions of the U.S. Naval War College (NWC) has been to strengthen the U.S. Navy's global maritime partnerships. This is done through outreach, research and education designed to increase the capability and capacity of the country's maritime partners. The Maritime Security and Governance Staff Course (MSGSC) is a five-month long program for mid-grade career naval officers from smaller navies and coast guards around the world. It offers operational-level exposure to the most pressing maritime security challenges of the modern era. The course begins with a strategic assessment of the contemporary role of navies and coast guards, with a focus on the promotion of maritime security and governance. Next, constabulary operations are examined in depth as are the concepts that support them, such as the law of the sea, international cooperation, and interagency coordination. The curriculum is delivered through discussion in seminars, immersion in realistic practical exercises, and travel to naval facilities and maritime agencies around the country. Students also participate in the Field Studies Program that provides them with an understanding of American institutions, values and way of life. The incumbent will teach the MSGSC course with duties including conducting classroom instruction; reviewing and evaluating student products, examinations, and other written and verbal assessments, including performance during practical exercises; developing curricula; performing educational administrative functions for the department; and performing various types of service to the College, including academic research.

Desirable qualifications include a Ph.D., J.D. or another terminal professional degree. Operational or staff experience in the U.S. Navy or Coast Guard is important, but not mandatory.

Additionally, experience working collaboratively with peers in a learning environment, as well as experience creating a professional seminar atmosphere that enhances student educational outcomes is desired. Candidates must be U.S. citizens capable of obtaining a Department of Defense security clearance at the SECRET level.
Salary Considerations.
