APPLICATIONS INVITED FOR
CSU INTERNATIONAL PROGRAMS RESIDENT DIRECTOR
APPOINTMENTS FOR 2011-12
The CSU International Programs is calling for applications for:
- five 12-month, full-time, one year, Resident Director positions in China, France, Italy, Japan, and Spain.
A CSU Resident Director position provides qualified CSU faculty members with an opportunity to be a vital part of the special experience of students involved in intercultural learning, to develop their administrative skills, and to utilize their international communicative skills in a rewarding, professional environment. Faculty from all disciplines, and those who have never had the opportunity previously to serve in one of these positions are especially encouraged to apply.
The deadline date for receipt of applications, including references, in the Office of International Programs is December 1. Interview dates are February 25-26, 2010. Personal interviews of the finalists are conducted on site at the CSU Chancellor's Office in Long Beach. Applicants must be available on any of these dates for an interview in order to be considered for an appointment.
The faculty member continues to be a campus employee during the year they are abroad and the campus pays the Resident Director. If the faculty member is currently in a ten-month (academic year) position they are moved to a twelve month position resulting in an increase of approximately 15% plus the 10% for the overseas assignment. The 10% differential is designed partially to compensate the Resident Director for those special expenses associated with overseas service. No additional source of compensation for such expenses is provided. In addition, the International Programs provides the Resident Director (but not dependents) round trip airfare and limited travel expenses.
To qualify for appointment, applicants must meet these standards: Full-time, tenured or tenure-track faculty member holding a teaching or administrative appointment on a CSU campus (faculty participating in the Faculty Early Retirement Program (FERP) are not full-time and therefore are not eligible); possession of a Ph.D. or other terminal degree; and appropriate overseas experience. Near-native fluency is required for all countries listed above. Administrative skills and a personal and professional commitment to international education are also required. It is desired that applicants have had experience in disbursing and accounting for state funds.
Application materials and further information may be obtained from the web at: www.calstate.edu/ip or from your campus representative to the Academic Council on International Programs (Ofer Meilich, Meilich@csusm.edu, 750-4235).
