Indiana University Bloomington’s Hamilton Lugar School of Global and International Studies (HLS) seeks a full-time tenure-track assistant professor of contemporary Japanese politics and society, broadly defined, to begin August 1, 2020.

We are particularly interested in candidates combining disciplinary rigor and area studies expertise to examine real-world challenges facing contemporary Japan and who are interested in contributing to and benefiting from EALC’s new 21st Century Japan Politics and Society Initiative (established in 2018).
