Director of the Kellogg Institute for International Studies

University of Notre Dame
Posted: October 18, 2007

Description:
The University of Notre Dame seeks a distinguished scholar and visionary leader to fill the position of Director of the Kellogg Institute for International Studies.

The Director provides intellectual and administrative leadership for one of the world’s leading interdisciplinary programs of comparative social science research. The University seeks a person with energy, broad scholarly vision, and the managerial and interpersonal skills to lead the Institute to fulfill its promise as the University’s flagship center for research on comparative social science.

The Kellogg Institute is a well-endowed center for comparative social science research on major themes in world affairs. Building on a core interest in Latin America, the Institute fosters research on many regions of the world. It has earned an international reputation for cutting-edge contributions in the study of democratization, economic development, social justice and the roles of religion and civil society.

The Director should have a record of scholarly visibility in one or more areas related to the Institute’s agenda. Candidates must be open to innovative approaches and need to be able to encourage collaboration among faculty from many fields and to build support for diverse programs. As the public representative of the Institute, the Director should be conversant with the University’s Catholic tradition.

The University of Notre Dame, a leading Catholic university and ranked one of the top 20 institutions of higher learning in the US, looks to the Kellogg Institute to foster a lively awareness of global issues on campus while sharing the university’s teaching and research excellence with the world.

The Director reports directly to the Provost and must build accountable, creative, and energetic relationships with a spectrum of stakeholders; these include more than 60 Faculty Fellows in 14 academic departments, Visiting Fellows from the US and abroad, graduate and undergraduate students, 13 institute staff members, administrators of various University schools and institutes, donors, partner institutions, alumni, an advisory board, the policy community, and other audiences whose backgrounds and interests cover many countries and subject areas.

Rank and salary will be commensurate with experience. Candidates must have a record of scholarly achievement that warrants appointment as a tenured faculty member in an academic department at Notre Dame. To ensure full consideration, nominations and applications should be received by November 30, 2007.

Applications will continue to be reviewed until a Director is identified.
