Asian Studies Faculty Position at Australian National University

Posted by: Beadle on Wednesday, June 24th, 2009

The Faculty of Asian Studies at Australian National University is seeking to appoint a lecturer (level B) in the humanities, specializing in the history of people, society, culture, or thought in Asia. Applicants should have a Ph.D. and native or near-native fluency in an Asian or Pacific language. Expertise in Asian history and historiography is preferred, but knowledge of other fields, such as anthropology, sociology, linguistics, religions, and creative or performing arts, would also be advantageous. Extensive experience in using primary sources in their original form, for example through fieldwork or textual analysis, is highly desirable.

The successful candidate will have a leading role in teaching at both the undergraduate and graduate level and, in particular, the interdisciplinary undergraduate and graduate core courses in Asian studies. Applicants should demonstrate the ability and willingness to supervise students at Honours and Postgraduate levels and a capacity to contribute to research excellence in their field of expertise.
