Description:

The Department of Linguistics and Asian/Middle Eastern Languages at San Diego
State University (SDSU) seeks to hire a tenure-track Professor of Japanese at
the rank of Assistant Professor, to begin in fall 2023. The candidate is
expected to have native or near-native proficiency in Japanese in addition to
strong proficiency in English.  

The ideal candidate will pursue research in Japanese language, linguistics,
culture, or literature, and demonstrate potential for substantial
contributions to the field. Possible areas of specialization include the
acquisition and teaching of Japanese as a second/foreign language, the
acquisition and teaching of Japanese as a heritage language, Japanese
linguistics, Japanese literature and culture, and Japanese cultural studies.
The successful candidate should have a proven track record of teaching
undergraduate courses in Japanese that is grounded in communicative language
teaching and possess knowledge of current trends in second/foreign language
teaching methodologies and new technologies in language learning. The
candidate must be able to teach all levels of Japanese language courses. In
addition, the ideal candidate will have the expertise to teach two or more
upper-division courses that are part of the Japanese major, such as Business
Japanese, Newspaper Reading and Advanced Composition, and Japanese Literature
through Text and Film. We are especially interested in candidates who
demonstrate strong potential to collaborate effectively with existing faculty
to manage and grow the Japanese Language Program, which includes a Japanese
major and minor, and to maintain the program’s ties with relevant units across
the university. Applicants should present evidence of teaching experience and
scholarly potential. 

Review of applications will begin October 31, 2022, and continue until the
position is filled.
