A Ph.D. in conflict management, international relations, social psychology, political science or related fields in the social and applied sciences is required along with a broad theoretical understanding of conflict. The successful applicant must possess applied, professional experience in conflict management.
The following would also be strong assets in the position: applied research experience, an ability to employ adult learning and applied learning principles with mature learners, international experience, and experience in distance education teaching.
