and
East Asian Studies, including those working within and across media
and film, and cultural studies, with a historical perspective. We
seek candidates interested in working in a department that
encourages transregional and global perspectives.
The search

who
will bring to their research and teaching the diverse perspectives

approaches or an understanding of those under-represented in higher
education.

Asian Studies.

Applicants should
submit a cover letter, a curriculum vitae, a writing sample (20-30
pages), sample syllabi for both an undergraduate and a graduate
course, three references letters, as well as a
statement
describing the ways in which your (1) scholarship,
(2) teaching and mentoring, and/or (3) service and engagement
demonstrate your commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. We
are particularly interested in hearing about concrete steps you
have taken (or are planning to take) to foster an inclusive
intellectual environment in your research, in the classroom, in the
department, and on campus, and/or in the discipline more
generally.
