Modern Chinese Literature & Culture
Associate/Assistant Professor, Modern Chinese Literature and Culture

The Department of Asian Languages and Cultures at Northwestern University
seeks to appoint a full-time faculty member at the associate (tenured) or
assistant (tenure track) level in modern Chinese literature and culture.
We welcome candidates who work across multiple genres and media from the
modern to contemporary periods. The candidate will join three currently
tenured faculty members in late imperial Chinese literature, modern
Japanese literature, and contemporary Hindi literature respectively, and
fourteen continuing lecturer faculty in the Chinese-, Hindi-, Japanese-,
and Korean-languages in the newly-formed (Fall 2013) Department of Asian
Languages and Cultures.

As a new member of a growing department, the candidate should bring
excellence in research and teaching, as well as enthusiasm and creativity
in developing undergraduate curricula, establishing departmental
governance, and, at a future date, planning a competitive graduate program.

This search is proceeding in tandem with a search for a tenure-line
position in Japanese literature at the rank of assistant professor. The
department plans future searches in the fields of Korean and South Asian
literature, film/media, and performance/cultural studies.

More information on the current searches and the Department of Asian
Literatures and Cultures can be found on our job openings page

consideration applications should be received by October 15, 2013. The
position is open until filled. Women and minorities are encouraged to
apply. AA/EOE.

Applicants should submit a letter of application, C.V., a substantial
writing sample (e.g., a dissertation or book chapter), and three letters
of recommendation (sent separately). All materials must be submitted
