Hi all. Norwich is starting an online MA program in Military History (MMH), and we need a director to run it. We hope to do preliminary interviews at SMH. It's a short deadline, since we need someone who can be here by July if at all possible. (We will also be looking for course developers and online instructors.)
Norwich has several other very successful online master's programs. The MMH would join our MA in Diplomacy (political science-based) and a Center for the Study of War and Peace. The actual courses are just now being developed, so there is room for the new director to put a personal stamp on it.
Please pass along the announcement below.

Norwich University seeks an outstanding scholar/administrator to serve as director of its new online program offering a Master of Arts in Military History (MMH). We are looking for a director at the Associate or Full Professor level who is a recognized scholar in military history. The directorship is a 12-month position, and is a tenure-track slot with half-time teaching responsibilities in the Department of History.

The MMH program will be a broad-ranging program covering a variety of fields in military history.
Qualifications: PhD in history from an accredited institution. Demonstrated commitment to the field of military history evident in teaching, publication, research, and conference participation. Evidence of success in teaching and advising students. Experience in administration and on-line programs is a plus, but Norwich has a strong support structure and will train the right person. Collegial on-line writing style; after curriculum and instructor management, the Director's most important role is as a communicator with a constant presence. Ability to work congenially with staff, students, and colleagues.
Administrative responsibilities: Develop and maintain curriculum. Recruit, hire, orient, train, and manage qualified instructors. Organize academic events for the annual residency. Be a leader; creatively manage staff, students, and instructors.
