Stanford University seeks candidates for a new faculty position focused on emerging issues in international security. This is an open search with respect to disciplinary expertise; the rank is equivalent to the level of associate or full professor.

• China and the changing global balance of power
• Civil wars and terrorism
• Cybersecurity
• Ethics and international security
• International governance, organizations and cooperation
• Risk analysis
• Science and global security
• Transnational migration

The new faculty member will be appointed as the Steven C. Hazy Senior Fellow, an endowed faculty chair, either in a freestanding position wholly within the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies (FSI) and affiliated with the Center for International Security and Cooperation (CISAC), or as a joint appointment between FSI and an academic department in the social, natural, applied or clinical sciences.

Applicants should possess an exceptional record of research and publication and be committed to teaching at the undergraduate and graduate levels. Applicants should also have substantial interest or proven expertise in making, advising or implementing policy. The successful candidate will be expected to provide leadership for the study of emerging issues in international security and cooperation at Stanford University.
