Interested Navy officers should contact CDR Barbara Burgett, USNA Personnel Officer at (410) 293-1560, DSN 281 or burgett@usna.edu

Navy officers may also direct queries to LCDR Russ Evans, USNA placement officer, DSN 882-3999 or russell.r.evans@navy.mil.

Marine Corps officers should contact the Marine Corps staff secretary, CaptJohn Cisco at (410) 293-6304, DSN 281, or cisco@usna.edu.

Recalled Reserve Officer Faculty (Navy Only)

The U.S. Naval Academy has a need for qualified Navy reserve officers, especially at the ranks of LT and LCDR, with at least a master’s degree in an appropriate academic discipline to instruct in designated academic departments for fall 2013 and to serve as outstanding military role models for midshipmen.

Recall Opportunities will be considered for the following disciplines: cyber security, information systems, and information technology; electrical and computer engineering, nuclear engineering, mechanical engineering, naval architecture and ocean engineering, aerospace engineering, and control systems engineering; mathematics, chemistry, physics, computer science, and oceanography; political science, economics, English, and history. Interested Navy Reservists should email a letter of application, and accompanying resume of experience (academic, professional, and naval, especially any recent mobilizations, recalls, or extended active duty periods), and a full-length khaki photo to:

Email: reserve.recall@usna.edu
Reserve Recall Liaison Officer, CDR Leeds
United States Naval Academy, Code 11C
121 Blake Road
Annapolis, MD 21402-1300

Telephone: (410) 293-6513
DSN: 281-6513
Fax: (410) 293-2591

To receive full consideration, interested officers for Academic Year 2013-2014 should apply no later than December 15, 2012. Officers selected will be recalled to active duty and assigned orders for an officer-instructor tour, not to exceed three years, commencing July 2013.Recalled officers will remain on the reserve active status list and will remain eligible for promotion consideration before reserve selection boards.

Selections will be made only after USNA placement officers are confident that USNA billets will not be filled from the active duty pool of potential officer instructors. Selections will be made by mid-January. Final arrangements are contingent upon PCS funding being available through the Navy.

Permanent Military Professor

The Navy Administrative Message concerning the FY2006 Permanent Military Professor selection board (291414Z Dec 2005) was released later than expected and the application deadlines for many of the graduate schools listed in the message have already passed.

One factor that will ease the application process for candidates applying to programs sponsored by the Naval Postgraduate School is that NPS is no longer requiring the Graduate Record Examination.

Listed below, by Naval Academy gaining department, are the deadlines known to us as of 3 January 2006. If you are interested in applying as a PMP this year in Economics, Leadership, Naval Architecture, Ocean Engineering, or Computer Engineering, please get in touch with the Naval Academy point of contact listed below, who may be able to guide you in your application decision.
