XAVIER UNIVERSITY, CINCINNATI, OHIO

Xavier University, a nationally ranked, liberal arts, Jesuit Catholic institution in Cincinnati, Ohio, invites applications for Associate Director of the Edward B. Brueggeman Center for Dialogue.

The Associate Director will work with the Executive Director in support of the Brueggeman Center’s mission to advance the core mission of the University through teaching, research, and convening programs and conferences. The Center’s mission statement, “Working collaboratively for a more just, sustainable and equitable world,” dovetails with the University’s commitment to provide a rigorous education dedicated to high academic standards and social justice. The work of the Center also supports Xavier’s commitment to the development and success of diversity and inclusion initiatives.

If desired and with appropriate qualifications, the Associate Director may request a faculty appointment, though such appointment will require the review and approval of the relevant academic department and conform to the guidelines of Xavier University’s Faculty Handbook.

The Associate Director will help the Executive Director manage the Center’s ongoing programs and develop new initiatives for the Center to pursue. Details of current work in which the Center is involved are available at xavier.edu/dialogue.

The range of current programming falls into the following categories, with interfaith dialogue and collaboration being key: 

• Interfaith Dialogue and Collaboration
• Environmental Sustainability
• Globalization and Internationalization
• Refugee and Asylee Work
• Political and Economic Justice

The Associate Director will work in support of the Executive Director through the 2020-2021 academic year with the prospect of assuming the position of Director of the Center during the 2021-2022 academic year.   Preferred start date is March 2, 2020, but a later start date is negotiable.

The Associate Director must:

• Be able to work collaboratively with faculty and students from all four of Xavier’s colleges over a wide range of academic disciplines to develop and implement programs.
• Be able to work directly with community organizations, including: local faith communities, nonprofit organizations, governmental organizations, and the business community to develop programming that plays a major role in Xavier’s deep engagement with the regional community.
• Be able to work globally, providing a “portal” for Xavier to bring international scholars and experts to the University. To date, the Center has brought scholars, experts, NGO leaders and government officials from over 90 countries to Xavier.
• Manage the Winter-Cohen Brueggeman Research Fellows, a unique program in which seven to 10 students are chosen to do a year of independent research in the Center with funding to travel abroad for two to six months to continue that research. To date, students have done combinations of research and service in over 60 different countries. The Associate Director is expected to assist interested Fellows in completing applications for additional research opportunities, such as the Fulbright Program.

Qualifications and Skills:

• Required:
  • Terminal degree in one of the disciplines represented at Xavier University (PhD or JD preferred).
  • At least five years of experience in higher education.
