This position was established at the University of Maryland through the efforts of Mrs. Jehan Sadat and an international advisory board of prominent statesmen, scholars and admirers of President Sadat who wished to help promote the ideals for which he worked and ultimately gave his life. The Chair will be housed in the department's Center for International Development and Conflict Management, internationally recognized for its work on protracted conflict resolution. The Sadat Chair will work closely with other Center programs which include the Global Events Data Set and the Minorities at Risk/Early Warning project. The Sadat Chair Professor will hold a tenured professorial appointment in the Department and must have a superior international reputation in areas such as international and communal conflict, political and economic development, and demographic aspects of international politics. The appointee will also have recognized expertise in a particular region of the world, with preference given to the Middle East. Outstanding academic credentials and/or extensive and high level policy experience will be considered important prerequisites for consideration. In establishing the Sadat Chair at the University of Maryland at College Park, the premier public research university in the Washington area, the donors were conscious of the important links which this campus maintains with the policy community. Thus, in addition to seeking an individual who gives evidence of the prospect of sustained and high level activity in his/her professional field, we seek a person who will be able to interact effectively with the Washington policy community. Finally, we seek a dynamic person willing to make a professional and personal commitment to promoting the purposes of the Department and the Center. Inquiries concerning the Sadat Chair may be addressed to Professor Jonathan Wilkenfeld, Chair, Sadat Chair Search Committee, Department of Government and Politics, University of Maryland, College Park, Maryland 20742, telephone (301)405-4160, FAX (301)314-9690 or email address jwilkenf@bss2.umd.edu. The Search Committee will be assisted by a 15-member International Advisory Committee for the Sadat Chair, chaired by Mrs. Jehan Sadat. The search will be international in scope, with the appointment to begin in August 1997. For best consideration, candidates should submit a letter of interest, curriculum vitae, list of at least three references, and other relevant materials by December 31, 1996.
