Position Summary:

The Department of Peace and Conflict Studies at the University of North Carolina Greensboro seeks applicants for three (3) Assistant Professor faculty positions (1 tenure track, 2 APT track). The positions will begin August 2018. We are seeking candidates who have specialization in theory-driven practice and community engagement across local, national, and international contexts in the areas of group conflict and reconciliation, civic engagement, peace operations, and working with diverse populations.

The Department of Peace and Conflict Studies is committed to conflict transformation to build peaceful and just social systems through theory-informed practice and community engagement. We address conflict across sectors and interpersonal, interorganizational, and international contexts throughout our MA and BA degree programs. We do this by educating students, online as well as face-to-face, to effectively design positive and sustainable changes within a variety of settings, sectors, and contexts. The skills developed in PACS through praxis address the “wicked issues” of our times which require interdisciplinary theory and practice. We seek faculty who are interested in joining our department as we continue to expand and rapidly grow our online curriculum to students across the state and world, and with foci in global leadership, conflict management, peace and governance, and civil-military interaction.

We value collaboration with communities through community-engaged research, teaching, and/or service to address mutually-beneficial interests and priorities.
