Faculty 
Description
 

The Peace and Conflict Studies (PACS) Program, located in the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Colorado-Boulder, seeks a qualified, full-time, renewable-contract Instructor to deliver the core curriculum for this undergraduate program, beginning in fall, 2016.

 

The PACS Program has existed at CU-Boulder for nearly 50 years, and is one of the founding programs in this interdisciplinary field within American universities. The program offers a certificate only. Undergraduates from all CU majors are eligible to declare the certificate program, and enroll in related coursework. PACS students develop a broad orientation to peace and conflict-related topics, spanning conventional distinctions between domestic vs. international conflict arenas, internal vs. external change programs, and scholarly vs. practitioner perspectives. Core curriculum offerings include: Introduction to Peace and Conflict Studies; Communication and Conflict Management; Senior Seminar in Peace and Conflict Studies, and Special Topics. The certificate program enrolls between 150 and 200 students, and graduates 40-50 students annually. (For more information, see: http://peacestudies.colorado.edu/ )

 

Required qualifications for this position include a significant record of successful classroom teaching in the area of peace and conflict studies. A completed Ph.D. in either Conflict Studies, Peace Studies, or other social science disciplines providing training in peace, conflict, and security studies, is preferred. Candidates who are ABD, or with a Master’s degree and a substantial record of teaching and professional experience, will also receive full consideration. Willingness and ability to support development of a Security Studies component for the program are also desirable. Total position duties (100%) are divided between 85% teaching and 15% service activities. Teaching load is 8 sections per academic year (4 per semester); performance of significant service may create eligibility for course reduction. Service duties include supervising student internships, curricular and program development, program promotion, and community outreach. Annual salary is competitive. The Instructor will report directly to a CU-Boulder faculty member serving as the PACS Director, and will be formally rostered in an academic unit TBD within the College of Arts and Sciences. This unit will be responsible for conducting contract renewal procedures, typically on a 3-year cycle.
