Japanese Studies : Open Specialization

The Centre for Japanese Studies is an established and distinguished 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.

Applicants should have an excellent record of tertiary teaching and supervision experience and a distinguished record of research and publication at an international level.

Applicants with administrative experience are also especially welcome. 

The selected candidate is expected to assume duty in as early as August 2016.
