The Southeast Asian Studies Programme of the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, National University of Singapore, seeks applications from scholars specialising on the study of religions in Southeast Asia at the level of Assistant Professor, Associate Professor, or Professor. Disciplinary and country specialisations are open but the Programme has a preference for those engaged in the study of religious experience in Indonesia or the Philippines. Applicants must be committed to working and teaching in an interdisciplinary environment with an area studies perspective. They should be actively engaged in research, be fluent in at least one Southeast Asian language, and show evidence of a strong publications record, or the potential to develop one. They should also have relevant teaching experience, as the successful applicant will be expected to teach at both the undergraduate and postgraduate levels.

Scholars willing to make a long-term commitment to the Southeast Asian region, including those with strong links to the region's academic community, are especially encouraged to apply. A Ph.D. is required at the time of appointment. A successful applicant at the senior level may also be affiliated with the Asia Research Institute, including the possibility of leading a research cluster.

The appointment will begin on July 2009.

Further information on the Asia Research Institute can be obtained from www.ari.nus.edu.sg/.

To apply, please submit a full CV and a statement describing your research and teaching interests. In addition, please arrange for three reference letters to be sent directly to the Chair of the SearchCommittee under confidential cover. Inquiries and completed applications should be sent to:
