The Center for Khmer Studies seeks up to three course Instructors

for credit-bearing courses on Cambodian Studies

based in Siem Reap, Cambodia.

 

The Center for Khmer Studies (CKS) in partnership with the
Council on International Educational Exchange (CIEE) is
running two programs for undergraduates in 2007: (1) a Spring
Cambodian Studies for American undergraduates; and (2) a
Summer Junior Fellowship Program in Cambodian Studies for
American, French and Cambodian undergraduates and recent
graduates. 

 

CKS is seeking up to three course instructors to deliver the
academic content for three university-level courses for
American, French and Cambodian students to be held over spring
and summer, 2007. 

 

·         The Spring Cambodian Studies Program begins mid-May.
 One course will be offered which meets for a total of 45
contact hours; this includes instruction in class and on field
trips in Siem Reap and Phnom Penh.  The course covers
Nation-Building in Cambodia After the Khmer Rouge and
culminates in a final exam on June 8. 

 

·         The Summer Junior Fellowship Program begins July 2.
 Two courses will be offered for the summer program, Cambodian
History and Culture and Nation-Building in Cambodia After the
Khmer Rouge, both for a total of 45 contact hours; this
includes instruction in class and on field trips in Siem Reap
and Phnom Penh. Final exams will be held on August 10. 

 

Both the Spring Cambodian Studies Program and the Summer
Junior Fellowship Program will be held at the CKS conference
hall in Wat Damnak in Siem Reap, Cambodia.  Both programs
include a one week field trip to Phnom Penh organized by CKS
and CIEE.  Opportunities also exist to provide program
direction and research advising during the Summer Junior
Fellowship Program. 

 

The ideal candidates would hold a PhD, have prior teaching
experience and be familiar with the historic, social and
political environment of Cambodia and Southeast Asia.  Strong
reading and writing skills in English are required (the
working language of the programs is English) and language
skills in French and Khmer are an advantage.
