The Center for Khmer Studies (CKS) in partnership with the Council on

undergraduates in 2008, the Summer Junior Fellowship Program in Cambodian 
Studies, for American, French and Cambodian undergraduates and recent graduates.

CKS is seeking up to two course instructors to deliver the academic content 
for two university-level courses to be held over the summer 2008, based in 
Siem Reap, Cambodia.  Both courses are to be held for a total of 45 contact 
hours.  This includes instruction in class and on field trips in Siem Reap and 
Phnom Penh. Final exams will be held on August 7.  The Summer Junior 
Fellowship Program begins with orientation on June 24. The following two 
courses will be offered for the summer program:

     * Cambodian History and Culture
     * Nation-Building in Cambodia After the Khmer Rouge.

The Summer Junior Fellowship Program will be held at the CKS conference hall 
in Wat Damnak in Siem Reap, Cambodia.  It includes a two week field trip to 
Phnom Penh organized by CKS and CIEE.  Opportunities also exist to provide 
program direction and research guidance during the Program.

The ideal candidates would hold a PhD, have prior teaching experience and be 
familiar with the historic, social and political environment of Cambodia and 
Southeast Asia.  Strong reading and writing skills in English are required 
(the working language of the programs is English) and language skills in 
French and Khmer are an advantage.
