Executive and Graduate Education. The inaugural Director will create and 
implement a program of executive and graduate education to address the 
needs of the region’s growing media industries, taking full advantage of 
Northwestern’s world-class reputation in media education and NU-Q’s new, 
515,000-square-foot, leading-edge media education center.

NU-Q is Northwestern University’s first international campus and is 
located in Education City, Doha, which was established in partnership 
with Qatar Foundation in 2008. The inaugural Director will be working 
with a team of dynamic academic leaders as an innovator and collaborator 
who possesses a deep understanding of both the opportunities and 
challenges of the rapidly evolving media and technology landscape.

The ideal candidate will have experience in the development of executive 
and graduate education programs in media and communication, media 
management or media economics, working with faculty and staff to realize 
the highest quality academic offerings. The Director will be a full-time 
member of the faculty, who will teach both graduate and undergraduate 
courses in media management or economics, social aspects of information 
technologies or organizational communication. An M.B.A. or master’s 
degree with significant experience is required. A Ph.D. or other 
terminal degree is preferred. Professional or scholarly interest in the 
Middle East and North Africa would be welcomed.

The successful candidate will appreciate a culturally diverse community 
of students, faculty and staff comprised of women and men from Qatar and 
around the world and join faculty colleagues whose teaching experience 
is drawn from many of the world’s top academic institutions. In 
addition, the Director will work in collaboration with sister 
institutions in Education City that include Carnegie Mellon, Cornell, 
Georgetown, Texas A&M and Virginia Commonwealth to expand the depth and 
reach of program offerings.

NU-Q faculty-in-residence receive generous support for research and 
faculty development as well a highly competitive salary and a package of 
benefits and overseas allowances. Rank for these non-tenured positions 
is based upon qualifications and experience.
