Conditions of employment
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.
