Position in the Core Program

The Faculty of Liberal Arts (FLA), Sophia University, invites applications for an open-rank position in its Core Program (Assistant Professor is a five-year tenure-track appointment, while appointments of Associate Professor and Professor are tenured). The Core Program comprises a set of courses for degree students, including composition courses at three levels, a public speaking course, and a course in critical thinking. The successful candidate would be expected to have a specialization in English composition and to be able to teach all courses offered in the program. The candidate would also be expected to carry out administrative duties related to the Core Program and the faculty as a whole. 

The successful applicant is expected to have some research accomplishments and a PhD in hand by the time the job is offered. Applicants should have research interests in Rhetoric and Composition, Applied Linguistics, English or closely related field. Teaching experience in higher education English-medium programs in Japan or elsewhere is desirable. Although the student body of the FLA is diverse, it is important to note that this is not an English as a Foreign Language teaching position. The language of instruction is English. The appointment will be effective from April 1, 2016 (preferred) or September 21, 2016.

Sophia University, located in central Tokyo, was founded in 1913 by the Society of Jesus (Jesuits) and is one of Japan’s leading private universities. The Faculty of Liberal Arts offers a comprehensive program in humanities, social studies, and international business and economics. In addition to our degree students, we annually welcome about 200 exchange students from leading universities overseas.

Applications should include a cover letter (outlining academic background, research interests, teaching abilities, and an explanation of your interest in being at Sophia University); a detailed curriculum vitae; three publications (articles, books, dissertation chapters); the names and addresses of three referees. Applications should be postmarked by October 1, 2015 and addressed to Professor Michio Hayashi, Dean at the mailing address below.
