<P align=center><B><BR><BR>Director of Master's Program in Intercommunal
Coexistence<BR></B>Brandeis University<BR>
<P><BR>Brandeis University announces a position for a scholar/practitioner to
direct a new Master's Program in Intercommunal Coexistence. The program will be
housed in the university's International Center for Ethics, Justice and Public
Life, and will award a degree from the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences.
This is a five-year, renewable appointment, and will bear the title "Professor
of the Practice" or "Research Professor." It will likely be a ten-month/year
position.<BR><BR>Concerns for inclusion and the improvement of intergroup
relations have deep roots in the history of Brandeis University and find
expression throughout the community in courses, fellowship programs, faculty
seminars, student organizations and dialogue groups. The new graduate program,
as currently envisioned, will serve experienced professionals who work in
conflict regions, in the United States and abroad, to facilitate coexistence
efforts at the community level. The person hired to fill this position will
complete the design for the program and shepherd it through the final stages of
university approval. He or she will be responsible for the overall intellectual
and administrative direction of the program, generally teaching three courses
per year. Candidates should have substantial practical experience working in
coexistence efforts, peacebuilding, conflict resolution, reconciliation,
mediation or facilitation, or a related field. They should bring knowledge of
relevant theory, and, preferably, experience teaching at the university level as
well as a record of publications or professional writing.<BR><BR>
