Job Announcement

[Charles Inouye]

To whom it may concern:

 Tufts University is opening a search for a visiting assistant
professor of Japanese culture and film/media.  Below is a
copy of the job description.

 Please inform any possible candidates of this opportunity.  The
successful candidate will join me and Hosea Hirata in continuing to build
an excellent, forward-looking Japanese language, literature, and culture
program at Tufts.  The appointment is for one year with possibility of
renewal.

 We hope to establish a tenure-track for a similarly focused
assistant professorship in the near future.  At that time, whoever
fills this visiting appointment in Japanese media/film studies will
certainly be
encouraged to apply.

 Other faculty members at Tufts presently doing focused research on
Japan include Gary Leupp (history), Ikumi Kaminishi (art history), Tomie
Han, (music), and Shinju Fujihara (political science).  Others with
interests in various aspects of Japanese culture are numerous.  Tufts is
deeply committed to international education, and has a continuing interest
in Japan studies in particular.

 There is already an established interest in Japanese visual
culture and film here at Tufts.  Please help us locate someone who
shares this interest and would enjoy living in the Boston area.


     Respectfully,

     Charles Shiro Inouye
     Director of Japanese Studies
     Dean of the Colleges
