Fulbright Visiting Research Chair in East Asia - North American Relations
at the University of Calgary

The Departments of History and German, Slavic & East Asian Studies seek a
Fulbright Canada Scholar working in the broadly defined areas of East
Asia–North America relations. We are especially interested in
interdisciplinary-minded candidates focusing on the intersections between
society, culture, and political economy. East Asia’s growing political and
economic importance to Canada and the United States manifests greater
social and cultural ties that have important implications for
trans-Pacific relations. We seek a scholar who will offer an advanced
interdisciplinary undergraduate seminar on North America–East Asia
relations and conduct high-level research in his or her areas of
expertise, taking advantage of the many resources available on East Asia
at the University of Calgary and in Western Canada more generally.

The Faculty of Arts at the University of Calgary has a significant number
of Asianists concentrated in several departments. The importance of
Calgary as a global energy hub, and the Alberta energy industry as the
target of significant East Asian investment, makes the University of
Calgary a particularly attractive place for scholars interested in East
Asia–North America relations.
