Dear Colleagues

Please note the following job opening for a Lecturer in Japanese Studies in Sheffield:

Overview
The School of East Asian Studies' mission is to provide internationally recognised research and high quality research-informed teaching on the societies and languages of East Asia, with a special emphasis on the three nations of Korea, China, and Japan. The School's focus on social science disciplines and contemporary issues in East Asia are distinctive features of its work. The School was ranked first amongst East Asian Studies departments in the UK in the annual National Student Survey in 2007 and again in 2009.

This is an opportunity for a scholar with a developing publication record and proven teaching ability to join one of the major centres for East Asian Studies in Europe. You will play a key role in delivering the School's research and teaching agenda by devising, developing and delivering undergraduate and postgraduate modules. Specifically, you will make a substantial contribution to modules on current social and economic issues, including gender and minority aspects.
We particularly welcome applicants with a strong disciplinary grounding in the Social Sciences, who can conduct research in both Japanese and English to maintain and enhance the School's international research representation.
