Tenure-track or Tenured Professor in Japanese Religions

The Department of East Asian Languages and Civilizations, Harvard University, seeks to appoint a tenure-track or tenured professor in early modern and modern Japanese religions. We welcome applicants who work in any field of religious studies on Japan from the seventeenth century to the present, including but not limited to Buddhism, Christianity, Confucianism, folk religion, intellectual history, Nativism, new religions, Shinto, and Shugendō. We also welcome scholars engaged in diverse academic methodologies, including transcultural research.

The appointment is expected to begin on July 1, 2024. The appointee will teach and advise at the undergraduate and graduate levels. The typical teaching load is three courses a year as well as a teaching-equivalent contribution (often called a "plus one"), which can range from leading tutorials to prepare graduate students for general examinations to an administrative role in the department. External applicants and finalists considered for a tenured appointment will need to complete the same procedures as external applicants and finalists in a search designated specifically for a tenured appointment.

Applications received by October 15, 2023, will receive full consideration.
