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 required courses
for degree students, including composition courses at three levels, a public
speaking course, and a course in critical thinking. The successful candidate
is expected to have a specialization in English composition and be able to
teach all courses offered in the program. The normal teaching load for
full-time teachers in the Core Program is three courses per semester. The
candidate is also expected to carry out administrative duties related to the
Core Program and the faculty as a whole. 

The successful applicant is expected to have a doctorate degree in Applied
Linguistics or TESOL and a demonstrated record of scholarly achievements, with
experience teaching academic writing in higher education English-medium
programs in Japan or elsewhere. Preferred experience includes one or more of
the following: program management and curriculum development in applied
language at the college level; experience working in or with writing centers;
experience with language testing; and relevant language teacher training.
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 September
21, 2017 (preferred) or April 1, 2018. 

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, two publications,
and the names and addresses of three referees. 

Applications should be postmarked by September 21, 2016 and addressed to
Professor Michio Hayashi, Dean at the application address below.

For further information, contact Professor Hanako Okada (email below).

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Indiana University and
as such can receive donations through Indiana University Foundation. We
also collect donations via eLinguistics Foundation, a registered 501(c)
Non Profit organization with the federal tax number 45-4211155. Either
way, the donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your
state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the
IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that
they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization.
Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department
and sending us a form that the Indiana University Foundation fills in
and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative
procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if
your company operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
