    University of Durham Department of East Asian Studies

    Lecturer in Japanese (Ref A713B)

    The East Asian Studies Department at the University of Durham (UK) seeks a Lecturer in Japanese Language / Literature / Linguistics from 1 October 1998. The candidate will normally teach between 8 and 10 contact hours a week and will be in charge of the first-year Japanese language programme (choosing texts, training part-time teachers, co-ordinating writing, grammar and conversation aspects of the programme). A strong research record or proven research ability is essential, and the Lecturer will be expected to fully participate in Departmental examining and administration.

    Central to teaching will be 3 hrs/week of explaining Japanese grammar in English to first year students; hence explicit (rather than intuitive, native-speaker) knowledge of Japanese grammar is essential. The further contact hours may include 5 chosen from among Classical Japanese (2 hrs), Classical literature (2 hrs), teaching Japanese as a foreign language (2 hrs), translating and interpreting (2 hrs), Modern Japanese literature (1-2 hrs), or linguistic structure of Japanese (1 hr).

    Preference may be given to a Ph.D. in hand. The job is suitable for language, literature or linguistic specialists. Initial appointment will be made on the Lecturer grade A scale (16,045 to 21,016 per annum) according to qualifications and experience.
