Established in 2013 with the support of distinguished policymakers
and scholars, the Clements Center is a nonpartisan education,
research, and policy center uniquely positioned in the Office of
the President. The Center draws on the best insights of diplomatic
and military history in order to train the next generation of
national security leaders; it provides signature and gateway
professional development opportunities for all students, from
undergraduates through postdocs. It is also the home of the
esteemed professional journal
The Texas National Security
Review and, in partnership with the Strauss Center for
International Security and Law, founded the Intelligence Studies
Project and the Asia Policy Program. The Clements Center is one of
the original leadership institutions of the America in the World
Consortium.
Qualifications
We seek outstanding tenure and tenure track candidates with a Ph.D.
in a related field whose work and approach to teaching respect the
role and work of foreign affairs in a democracy and complement the
mission of the Clements Center. Ideal candidates will (1) have
excellent records of scholarship with robust research agendas, (2)
provide evidence of exceptional teaching, and (3) show a readiness
to contribute to the intellectual life, governance, and
programmatic development of the Clements Center.
Practitioners with distinguished, full careers in the Department of
State, the intelligence community, the Department of Defense,
legislative affairs, and related fields are also encouraged to
apply and do not require a Ph.D. In lieu of pursuing a research
agenda, professors of practice will be expected to spend
substantial time mentoring students beyond the classroom.
Application Instructions
Applicants should submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, and list
of three academic references (references do not need to submit full
letters at this stage). Cover letters should give a brief overview
of the candidate's research agenda, highlight areas of teaching
competence, and concisely describe how the candidate would
contribute to the mission of the Clements Center. The cover letter
should also clearly identify whether the applicant is seeking a
tenure or professional track appointment or if he or she is open to
either.
Review of applications will begin September 15, 2026, and continue
until all positions are filled.
