Here’s a job announcement I received from Dr. Qiang Chen at Kumamoto University:

As you may know, Kumamoto University was selected as one of 37 “super global universities” by Japan’s Ministry of Education last September. Here are some web sites that provide information about this selection in Japanese:

The project will run 10 years beginning this year (2014). We are going to recruit several native English speakers either part time or full time.

The initial openings include 2-3 full-time faculty positions that must be filled by the end of fiscal year 2014. A detailed recruiting plan is being prepared but we would like to know immediately if there are any candidates who are living in Kumamoto or will be able to settle down in Kumamoto or commute to and from Kumamoto University.

Candidates in all areas related to liberal arts, science and engineering will be considered. Interested individuals are encouraged to send an email to Dr. Qiang Chen with a brief CV indicating his/her education, teaching interests and experience. The e-mail address is [email protected].
