The Asian Studies Program at Hamilton College invites applications for a two-year post doctoral position at the rank of Visiting Assistant Professor, beginning July 1, 2021 in Asian literary cultures, broadly understood to include questions of textuality, orality, performance, visual culture, materiality, or social identity. We are especially interested in teacher-scholars whose research and teaching engages with multiple Asian languages, regions, and/or periods. We are seeking candidates who can demonstrate their experience in teaching or working with diverse student populations.

Candidates should submit cover letter, c.v., a writing sample, and at least one course syllabus (for a course already taught or for a proposed course) via interfolio at https://apply.interfolio.com/81289.
