Description:

The University of Macau is a leading higher education institution in Macao,

great progress in various areas, with increasing international recognition of
its excellence in teaching, research and community service. The Times Higher
Education World University Rankings 2014/2015 ranks the University among the
world’s top 300 universities. With the beautiful new campus (20 times larger
than the old one) becoming fully operational, the launch of Asia’s largest
residential college system, the establishment of new faculties, and the
increasing numbers of students and faculty members recruited from around the
world, UM possesses great potential and provides exciting new possibilities
for growth and development.

The Centre for Japanese Studies of the Faculty of Arts and Humanities invites
applications for the position of Professor of Japanese Language and Pedagogy.

The Centre for Japanese Studies is an established and lively scholarly
community with a strong international tradition for the teaching of Japanese
language. In addition to its undergraduate BA programme in Japanese Studies,
the Centre offers an undergraduate Minor in Japanese Studies, as well as
possible PhD supervision across the range of the department’s expertise. The
Centre has particular strengths in Japanese linguistics and anthropological
approaches to Asian studies. In addition to undergraduate language teaching
graduate-level teaching and supervision may be expected to develop within
Japanese Studies or related areas.

Applicants must hold a PhD in Japanese Studies or in a related area.
Applicants should have an excellent record of tertiary teaching and
supervision experience and a distinguished record of research and publication
at an international level. Academic specialization is open but applicants with

Japanese as a second/foreign language. A good command of English is also

The selected candidate may assume duty as early as August 2015.

Position and Remuneration

Remuneration and appointment rank offered will be competitive and commensurate
with the successful applicant academic qualifications, current position and
professional experience. The current local maximum income tax rate is 12%, but
is effectively around 5% - 7% after various discretionary exemptions.
