Officer Faculty Opportunities
Opportunities exist for officers to serve as faculty members at the United States Naval Academy. Officers are assigned to the faculty in one of four capacities. Each is listed below.
Rotational Officer Faculty
The United States Naval Academy has opportunities for Navy and Marine Corps officers to serve as officer-instructors for tours of up to three years. Officers qualifying for duty in the divisions of Mathematics and Science, Engineering and Weapons, or Humanities and Social Science will have at least a master’s degree in a discipline appropriate to a subject they are teaching. Departments in which officers are sought include the following:
Division of Engineering and Weapons
- Aerospace Engineering
- Electrical and Computer Engineering
- Mechanical Engineering
- Naval Architecture, Ocean and Marine Engineering
- Weapons and Systems Engineering
Division of Humanities and Social Science
- Economics
- English
- History
- Foreign Languages (Spanish)
- Political Science
Division of Mathematics and Science
- Chemistry
- Computer Science
- Mathematics
- Oceanography
- Physics
Interested Navy officers should contact their detailers.
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 2014 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 engineering, computer engineering, general engineering, nuclear engineering, mechanical engineering, naval architecture, ocean engineering, aerospace engineering, and control systems engineering; mathematics, chemistry, physics, computer science, and oceanography; political science, economics, English, history, and foreign language (Spanish, French, German, Russian, Arabic, Chinese, or Japanese). Interested Navy Reservists should email a cover letter that states which discipline(s) they are applying for and what makes them qualified for that position, an accompanying resume of experience (academic, professional, and naval experience, including 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 Schedel
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 2014-2015 should apply no later than December 15, 2013. Officers selected will be recalled to active duty and assigned orders for an officer-instructor tour, not to exceed three years, commencing July 2014. 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. Applicants will be made aware of their selection status by mid-April. 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.
Please note in any case that selection into graduate school does not connote selection into the PMP program.
