I've never heard of Terrestris. What do you do?

At Terrestris, we leverage technology to create better mission outcomes through better human performance.

So, what will the Faculty Instructor at Terrestris do?

The U.S. Army War College (USAWC) seeks a dynamic and experienced Faculty Instructor to support the Distance Education Program (DEP), a rigorous two-year graduate-level program focused on strategic leadership, national security, and military operations. This role is critical in shaping future senior leaders in the U.S. Army and other military services, interagency, and international partners. The ideal candidate will possess a blend of academic excellence and practical experience in national security, strategic studies, joint military operations, or related disciplines. The position involves instruction across four online Core Courses and two in-person summer Resident Courses, with a strong focus on student engagement and performance evaluation across a variety of academic activities. Instructors will also develop and lead an online elective and an Advanced Studies Seminar. The work includes assessing student performance in online forums, written assignments, and during seminar discussions. Each academic year, instructors will be responsible for teaching and advising two seminar groups of approximately 18 USAWC students—military officers, government civilians, and international fellows—across the DEP curriculum. Instructors will provide detailed feedback and evaluations for each student, per assignment and course. Prior experience in professional military education (PME), particularly in a distance learning environment, is highly desirable.

  • Contribute to course design, curriculum development, and program assessment in collaboration with other faculty and academic staff.
  • Conduct scholarly research and/or publish on relevant topics in strategic studies or national security affairs.
  • Participate in academic governance, faculty development, and institutional outreach efforts.
