Description:

Soka University of America (SUA) seeks to fill a full time tenure-track

of 2017. The successful candidate will demonstrate the ability to teach all

load per academic year is five courses.

SUA offers a challenging program in liberal arts with a focus on the Pacific
Rim, and a strong emphasis on international/intercultural exposure. All
undergraduates must complete four semesters of foreign (non-English) language
coursework at SUA, and study abroad for one semester during their junior year.
The university aims to foster rewarding intellectual relationships among
faculty, and between faculty and students through collaboration and mentoring.
An appreciation of the centrality of peace, global citizenship, freedom, and
human rights is the founding impetus for the university and its mission.

Qualifications:

Candidates must hold a PhD in an appropriate area, and have demonstrated
excellence in teaching and research.

Benefits and salary:  Salary will be competitive and commensurate with rank
