Description:

The Department of East Asian Languages and Literatures at Yale University
seeks a Lector/Senior Lector I in Japanese language, start date July 1, 2023 –
June 30, 2026. This is a 3-year full-time appointment with multi-year renewal
contingent on excellent performance and sufficient enrollments.

Primary duties include teaching six courses or the equivalent per year, which
can be realized through teaching five term courses in the language sequence
with a sixth equivalent of effort in, for example, supervising graduate
students in their language teaching assignments. Collaboration on curriculum
development expected.

Salary and rank are commensurate with experience and qualifications. If the
initial appointment is at the rank of Lector, a promotion review for Senior
Lector I must take place in the fifth year or earlier. Senior lectors at Yale
are expected to participate in teaching-related professional activities (e.g.,
workshops, seminars, training activities, conferences) and have no limits on
reappointment, provided there is successful performance and ongoing curricular
need.

Lectors are eligible for Yale’s generous package of benefits, including health
coverage, and they are encouraged to participate in the wide range of
professional development opportunities offered through the Center for Language
Study, the Poorvu Center for Teaching and Learning, and the Faculty of Arts
and Sciences Dean’s Office.

Applicants must have: 
 - native or near-native fluency in Japanese; 
 - a bachelor’s degree or the equivalent, by the time of hire. 

It is strongly preferred that applicants have: 
 - experience teaching Japanese in a U.S. university or equivalent to heritage
and non-heritage learners, using current teaching methodologies; 
 - M.A. or Ph.D. (or equivalent degree) by the time of hire, in
second-language pedagogy, Japanese language/linguistics, applied linguistics,
or other related field. 
Experience in curriculum development and incorporating technology in the
classroom is desirable. Research profile in foreign language pedagogy a plus.

Please submit a letter of application, a CV, a statement of teaching
philosophy (not to exceed one page), three confidential letters of
recommendation, evidence regarding teaching effectiveness (e.g., course
evaluations or supervisor reviews), a sample syllabus (or other relevant
teaching materials), and any additional relevant material online at the link
below. Review of applications will begin January 15, 2023. Interviews will be
held via Skype or Zoom. If you do not have a free dossier account with
Interfolio, you will be prompted to create one during the application process.
