The Duke Study in China (DSIC) program invites applications for the position of director of its spring 2010 semester study abroad program. This person will also be responsible for teaching two undergraduate courses in English. The program will be held at Yunnan Normal University in Kunming, China. The semester will run from mid-February to early June, 2010. The ideal candidate should have a Ph.D. degree from a university in the US in one of the humanities or social science disciplines, three or more years of teaching experience in an institution of higher education, and management experience of undergraduate programs. ABDs with proven teaching experience and ability to connect with the students will also be considered. The director of the program will have the overall responsibility to manage the program, including arranging weekend excursions, supervising language partners, and liaising with host families. The DSIC program will have an on-site program coordinator to assist the director. The two courses to be taught are: 1) Introduction to Chinese History and Culture; and 2) an independent field research course where the instructor will supervise the students conducting their own research. Interested candidates should send a cover letter, resume and sample syllabi for the two courses by email to Dana Watson, the Asian/Pacific Studies Institute, Duke University, at dana.watson@duke.edu. Application deadline is October 12, 2009. Starting in the 2010-2011 academic year, this program will be switched to being offered in fall semester. There is therefore the potential for the person filling the spring position to continue to fall 2010. |
