Position Summary and Responsibilities
Vassar's annual teaching load is 3-2. In the first year (2017-2018), the successful candidate will teach four courses in the Philosophy Department and one course for the Department of Chinese and Japanese.

All teaching will be done in translation, but the successful candidate will be capable of reading texts in the original Chinese.
Qualifications
For the Philosophy Department, at least two courses each year must specifically be on Chinese and/or comparative philosophy. Specific courses and content are flexible, so long as they include substantive Chinese philosophical content.

For the Department of Chinese and Japanese, the successful candidate will teach Introduction to Chinese and Japanese Literature once each year; no previous teaching in this area is assumed, and course content is flexible. The topic of an additional course for the Department of Chinese and Japanese, in the second year of appointment, will depend on the interests of the candidate. Candidates should submit a letter of application, C.V., graduate school transcript (unofficial copies accepted for initial application), at least three letters of recommendation, a teaching portfolio (including sample syllabi and student evaluations if available), and a writing sample.
