Tanaka Junior Research Fellowship in Japanese StudiesPembroke College wishes to appoint a Junior Research Fellow (JRF) in Japanese Studies of any area, discipline or period. Whilst the field of study is open, candidates are expected to be able to conduct research using Japanese sources. The appointment will be from 1 September 2017 for three years. The Tanaka JRF in Japanese will be expected to conduct original research in their chosen field and to contribute to the development of Japanese studies at Pembroke College. Optionally, and by agreement with the Fellow in Japanese, they may provide undergraduate teaching, participate in admissions and supervise undergraduate dissertations. The JRF will also be expected to engage with the community of scholars and students in Japanese across the University and will assist with the organization of the Tanaka Lecture Series/Tanaka Symposium in Japanese studies. Applicants should either have completed their PhD or be close to completion (and will need to have submitted their doctorate before taking up the Fellowship) and preference will be given to applicants who have not already held a postdoctoral Fellowship, JRF or tenured academic post. Selection criteria will be based on the candidate's overall academic record, quality and achievement of research, research plans, academic fit with the College Fellowship and suitability for an academic career. Applications should be submitted by email to academic.office [a] pmb.ox.ac.uk by midday on Monday 6 February 2017.
