Greetings from Waseda University's Graduate School of Asia-Pacific Studies (GSAPS). I'm writing to let you know that GSAPS is undertaking a search for a new position -- at the tenured associate or full professor level -- for a scholar "conducting social science research centered on the Asia-Pacific region." As our call for applications indicates:

We aim to recruit a social scientist capable of conducting research and teaching in a field that combines two or more of the following keywords. We are especially eager for a scholar able to address connections to Japan in their work.

Keywords: Asia/Global History/Technology/Politics/Society

e.g.: "Global history focusing on Japan and Asia," "Technology and society in Asia"

You can find the announcement here: https://www.waseda.jp/fire/gsaps/news-en/14565

Please click in the link for application guidelines, which provides a fuller description of the position, deadlines, and so forth. 

For whatever my biased opinion's worth, this is a good time to work in Japan -- exchange rate notwithstanding -- and GSAPS is one of the best research environments available here. 

While I cannot provide tips or advice regarding applications, I can answer general questions about our department, the University, and the position. 

I hope some of you might find this to be an interesting opportunity and will consider applying.

Best wishes,

David Leheny
