Overview
The Center for the Pacific Rim at the University of San Francisco is an interdisciplinary center that fosters, in its multiple aspects, the study of the Asia-Pacific Region. It houses two degree programs: the Bachelor of Arts in Asian Studies, and the Master of Arts in Asia Pacific Studies. Each of the Center's constituent parts - the Ricci Institute for Chinese-Western Cultural History, the Japan Policy Research Institute, China Dialogue, and the Nautilus Institute for Security and Sustainability - offers unique opportunities for scholarly research and collaboration. Located in the heart of San Francisco, the Center seeks to engage the University community with the vibrant cultural, intellectual, and entrepreneurial resources available throughout the Bay Area, and to build a dynamic center of excellence to serve the broader interest of promoting understanding across peoples, cultures and societies in the Pacific.
The Center invites applications for Teaching and Visiting Research Fellowships for the 2011-12 academic year.
1. One Post-doctoral Teaching Fellowship is open to applicants who have received their doctoral degrees within the past five years. Appointments are for one year, renewable for a second.
2. One Open Rank Teaching Fellowship is open to applicants of all ranks including senior scholars who may wish to spend a sabbatical semester or year at USF. Appointments may be from one semester to two years.
3. Short-term Visiting Research Fellowships of 1-3 months' duration for scholars who significantly utilize the resources of the Ricci Institute are also available.
During their tenure, the Teaching Fellows are expected to teach one course per semester at the undergraduate or graduate level, and pursue research for publication in peer-reviewed scholarly journals, with possible contribution to the Center's Asia-Pacific Perspectives. The Center's Fellows are also expected to interact productively with students and faculty in furtherance of theitss mission.
Remuneration is commensurate with the successful candidates' qualifications.
We invite research proposals in two distinct areas: Chinese-Western cultural encounters; and more broadly in Asia Pacific studies, especially as it relates to transnational and transcultural issues within the â??Pacific world' (including but not limited to human rights and social justice; environmental sustainability; traditional religion and philosophy in contemporary world; conflict resolution, democracy and civil society in emerging nations; international relations and security; non-governmental interactions; and social, economic and cultural change).
