Assistant Professor in Asian Studies

 


Location: University of Notre Dame campus
Open Date: Sep 10, 2024
Deadline: Nov 12, 2024 at 11:59 PM Eastern Time

Description: The University of Notre Dame's Keough School of Global Affairs invites applicants for two Assistant Professors focused in the areas of media and communication studies and translation studies, with regional specialization in Asia. We seek candidates who pursue an active, interdisciplinary research agenda informed by relevant critical theory, contributing to the understanding of the role of media, communication, and/or translation in public and private life and in global affairs. We are especially interested in scholars whose work brings together aspects of East Asian or South Asian cultures with aspects of the study of politics and the concept of democracy. Duties include research, teaching and service.

The professorship will be based in the Keough School, which promotes interdisciplinary and policy-relevant research on critical issues in global affairs, transformative educational programs, and partnerships for global engagement. The Keough School approaches global affairs and development through a focus on integrated human development, which is also central to the University of Notre Dame's mission. The successful candidate will also be appointed as an affiliated faculty member of the Keough School's Liu Institute for Asia and Asian Studies, which provides a forum for integrated and multidisciplinary research and teaching on Asia, both within the Keough School and across the University as a whole.


Qualifications:
Competitive candidates for this professorship will have a scholarly track record with evidence of potential for high-quality research and, ideally, policy engagement in global and national discussions on media, communication, and/or translation. A PhD from any discipline is acceptable provided the candidate's research includes deep expertise in the areas of media and communication studies and translation studies, with regional specialization in Asia. ABD candidates will be considered for an entry level position. Native or near-native fluency in at least one Asian language and active engagement with relevant communities in Asia are expected.

The University of Notre Dame seeks to recruit and retain a diverse workforce as a reflection of our commitment to our Catholic tradition, to maintain the excellence of the University, and to offer our students richly varied disciplines, perspectives and ways of knowing and learning. The Keough School is committed to fostering a culture of diverse views and approaches to Global Affairs. We welcome candidates whose experience in teaching, research, or service has prepared them to contribute to our mission and commitment to diversity and excellence. All applicants whose scholarly pursuits will enhance our ability to fulfill that commitment are encouraged to apply.
