New Job Announcement: U of Chicago

[Mark Nornes]

This is turning out to be an interesting search season for Japanese 
cinema! This is a particularly curious combination, suggesting Chicago 
is seriously committed to Asian cinema study. Fascinating...

=======================================================================

The Committee on Cinema and Media Studies and the Department of East 
Asian
Languages and Civilizations at the University of Chicago invite 
applications for two appointments in East Asian cinema studies for 
academic year 2003-2004.

One position is in Japanese, and the rank is open (tenured or 
tenure-track).
Preference will go to candidates who can integrate cinema with the 
literary,
historical, and cultural aspects of the study of Japan. In addition to 
undergraduate teaching, the successful candidate will be expected to 
supervise graduate students in EALC. Command of the Japanese language is 
necessary.

The second appointment will be at the junior level, tenure-track; 
candidates
may specialize in China, Japan, Korea, or intraregional comparison. 
Preference will go to those who can teach courses in CMS outside their 
specialty, such as film history, theory, or aesthetics. Command of the 
relevant language/s is equally necessary as in the first position.

The letter of application should be accompanied by a cv, three letters 
of recommendation, a publication or writing sample, and sample syllabi, 
preferably for one graduate and one undergraduate course. The PhD must 
be completed by August of 2003. Review of applications will begin 
November 1. Materials should be sent to Co-Chairs, CMS & EALC Search, 
Committee on Cinema and Media Studies, University of Chicago, 
Gates-Blake 405, 5845 S. Ellis Avenue, Chicago, Il 60637.
