Lecturer in Japanese
(Ref A713B)

The East Asian Studies Department at the University of Durham (UK)
seeks a Lecturer in Japanese Language / Literature / Linguistics from
1 October 1998. The candidate will normally teach between 8 and 10
contact hours a week and will be in charge of the first-year Japanese
language programme (choosing texts, training part-time teachers,
co-ordinating writing, grammar and conversation aspects of the
programme). A strong research record or proven research ability is
essential, and the Lecturer will be expected to fully participate in
Departmental examining and administration.

Central to teaching will be 3 hrs/week of explaining Japanese grammar
in English to first year students; hence explicit (rather than
intuitive, native-speaker) knowledge of Japanese grammar is
essential. The further contact hours may include 5 chosen from among
Classical Japanese (2 hrs), Classical literature (2 hrs), teaching
Japanese as a foreign language (2 hrs), translating and interpreting
(2 hrs), Modern Japanese literature (1-2 hrs), or linguistic structure
of Japanese (1 hr).

Preference may be given to a Ph.D. in hand. The job is suitable for
language, literature or linguistic specialists. Initial appointment
will be made on the Lecturer grade A scale (16,045 to 21,016 per
annum) according to qualifications and experience.

Email enquiries may be made to Professor G.L. Barnes:
