Dear Friends and Colleagues,



I hope these lines find you well. I am reaching out to let you know that a new and exciting opportunity has emerged at War Studies. As part of our effort to enhance our teaching and research capacity in the field of Japan Studies from both history and security perspectives, the Department of War Studies is hiring a new teaching fellow for the next academic year.



This is an ideal position for a young person that has recently gained a PhD in a relevant subject to join a team of young and dynamic academics, gain some teaching experience with a passionate crowd of international students, join a rich series of seminar and research activities, and receive dedicated mentorship to get the first publications off the ground.



If you know anyone who would match this profile, then the King's Japan Programme may be the ideal place for them.
