Title: Resident Director, Intensive Japanese Language and Area Studies
Location: Osaka, Japan
Description: The Resident Director (RD) is responsible for managing the CET Japanese Language and Area Studies programs, which operate during the fall, spring and summer terms. The RD reports to the Japan Program Manager based in Washington, D.C. and works with a head teacher, part-time assistant, and staff of OGU’s International Center. Excellent communication and team work skills are essential.
General responsibilities include coordinating all activities, student meals, housing, Japanese roommate selection, and activities. The RD designs and directs each term’s orientation sessions. He/she must meet frequently with CET’s students (both informally and during regular office hours) to evaluate their goals, progress and adjustment. The RD is responsible for the programs’ operating budgets and financial reports.
Additionally, the RD must work together with the head Japanese language teacher to ensure the quality of the language lessons, assist in developing creative means of achieving language goals, and provide feedback.
Candidates are advised that this is a time-consuming, challenging position. We therefore discourage those interested in pursuing their own research projects in Osaka from applying. CET is seeking a candidate willing to commit to two years in Japan.
