Dear KineJapan folks, <br>
<br>
I'm pleased to announce that at long last the EALL department at UC
Irvine is accepting applications for an open-rank Modern or
Contemporary Japanese Literature and Culture position. Because of
technical issues, the application process is split into a senior
level (associate/full professor ) and junior level (assistant
professor ) component, but these are for a single search. A
description follows, along with links to the applications. <br>
<br>
If you have any questions about the job or application process, feel
free to contact me directly. <br>
<br>
yours,<br>
<br>
