Hi all,
 
Here is an interesting opportunity to build a program in Energy Policy and Climate at Johns Hopkins University.  I am circulating this here because while the job is advertised as requiring a PhD, they would also be very willing to hire someone with a JD.

General Description:

Johns Hopkins University Advanced Academic Programs is seeking, a full-time, Associate Director for the Master of Science in Energy Policy and Climate program. The position will hold a non tenure track faculty rank of Senior Lecturer. Primary responsibilities will focus on the quality development and growth of the masters program along with development of innovative programs geared for adult, working professional students. In addition, s/he will teach 3 courses per year. Under the direct supervision of the Director of the Graduate Programs in Environmental Studies, the Associate Director's responsibilities include but are not limited to: reviewing applications, curriculum development, hiring and supervising instructors, program promotion and outreach, student advising, and coordination with staff in student and faculty services, online education, marketing and enrollment services as other duties as assigned. The M.S in Energy Policy and Climate is part of the Krieger School of Arts and Sciences Advanced Academic Programs (AAP). AAP provides part time graduate programs for working professionals. The mission of the masters program is to prepare the next generation of interdisciplinary professionals to address the challenges of climate change and sustainable energy systems. The program takes a multidisciplinary approach and includes the following knowledge and skills: science related to a changing climate; knowledge of the impacts of climate change, vulnerability of natural systems and the built environment, and methods for adaptation; comprehension of energy production, delivery, and consumption for both traditional systems and sustainable/renewable energy alternatives; management skills for a carbon constrained business environment (carbon management); understanding of policy strategies employed at the local, state, and national level in response to climate change; and knowledge of multilateral agreements and non-US based approaches to both mitigation and adaptation to climate change. This position offers an annual 12-month contract. The position is located in Washington DC, has a competitive salary and is open immediately. To apply for this job please send C.V. and cover letter, a statement of teaching philosophy, and evidence of teaching effectiveness to Eileen McGurty (emcgurty at jhu.edu). 

Qualifications:

The ideal candidate will have a Ph.D. in a field related to energy and climate change. Experience working with energy systems, sustainability planning, climate policy, carbon finance or adaptation planning is a plus. Ability to develop and maintain relationships with multiple stakeholders in the climate change policy arena is necessary. The Associate Director must have prior teaching and advising experience, preferably at the graduate level and be able to teach one of the core courses (Energy Production Technology, Science of Climate Change and its Impact, Climate Change Policy Analysis, Carbon Management and Finance). The Associate Director will be expected to expand the student body of the program and develop additional energy and climate related educational opportunities. S/he must have strong teaching skills. A strong candidate will also have previous supervisory and management experience in an educational environment. The position requires a significant amount of collaborative and team work.
