Now in its fourteenth year, the Asian Studies postdoctoral program at Hamilton seeks to foster a cooperative milieu in which post-docs can develop as teacher-scholars in a liberal arts environment conducive to interdisciplinary thinking. The successful candidate will be housed in the department appropriate to his or her training and teach three courses a year. The annual salary is $50,000 for the candidate with Ph.D. in hand. Candidates should submit application materials, including a letter of application, c.v., dissertation abstract (Dissertation Abstracts Online version), a writing sample, three letters
