Description
The University of Rochester Department of Modern Languages and Cultures invites applications for a 3-year visiting assistant professorship in Japanese literature and culture beginning in Fall 2024.

We particularly welcome applications from scholars in the following fields: contemporary Japanese literary studies, early modern literary and cultural studies, and transnational and diasporic approaches to modern and contemporary Japanese literature and culture.

The course load is 2/2 and includes courses for the Japanese major and minor as well as elective courses, and the successful candidate will be expected to assist with administrative and advising responsibilities.

Candidates with the potential to offer an elective course that connects Japanese studies to Korean, Chinese, or Asian-American studies are particularly encouraged to apply. Candidates should demonstrate a strong commitment to program-building and curriculum design and strong and diverse research interests. The candidate must be fluent in both Japanese and English, and a Ph.D. in Japanese or a related field is required. If ABD, a dissertation defense date must be provided. Any candidate with a defense date after July 1 would be hired as an Instructor rather than as a Visiting Assistant Professor.

Salary range: $55,000-$65,000. The referenced pay range represents the full base range of pay for this job. Individual salaries will be determined within the job's salary range and established based on market data, experience and expertise of the individual, and internal equity considerations.
