The Fletcher School seeks to hire an Adjunct Professor of International Security, beginning in September 2026, to teach one foundational, core course in the International Security field currently titled The Role of Force. We would welcome candidates who are interested in offering a second elective in an international security related topic in the spring semester.

Fletcher’s International Security Studies Program (ISSP) was created in 1971, the same year its foundational course, the Role of Force, was introduced to the curriculum. The central goal of this course is to provide students with both a broad and in-depth examination of different approaches to security--national, international, transnational, and global--and how they have manifested in contemporary 20th and 21st century world politics. The course is one of two required courses in the International Security field.
