Dear Colleagues,

I would like to draw your attention to the following position. 

Associate Professor in the Politics and International Relations of Japan

The Nissan Institute of Japanese Studies at The Oxford School of Global and Area Studies

 

The Oxford School of Global and Area Studies (OSGA), in association with St Antony's College, wishes to appoint an Associate Professor in the Politics and International Relations of Japan.  We invite applicants with expertise in Japanese Politics and International Relations to apply.  The post is offered on a full-time basis, available from 1 October 2024 or as soon as possible thereafter.

Candidates will have a doctorate in Politics or International Relations or a closely related field, as well as a world-class portfolio of research and publications in the politics and/or international relations of Japan. Applicants who have not yet completed their PhD studies, must have received the doctorate before 1 October 2024.  Candidates will possess the ability to work with primary/Japanese language source material.  If your primary field of research is in Japanese politics, you will still be expected to cover the international relations of Japan in teaching and supervision, and vice versa.
