These Lecturer positions are for a three-year period commencing 1st April 2026.

JOB DESCRIPTION

Members of the ELI are normally expected to be on campus from 9.00 am to 5.00 pm, or 10.30 am to 6.30 pm, Monday through Friday. During the two semester breaks from teaching, each of approximately five to six weeks, lecturers are not typically required to be on campus.

  • A teaching load of eight 90-minute instruction periods per week, for a total of thirty weeks each year.
  • Conversing with students in the English Lounge and/or consulting by appointment in a skills-practice center (e.g. advising on writing skills in the Academic Support Area) for two 90-minute sessions per week
  • One Saturday duty per year, or equivalent.

Both during the teaching weeks and at other times during the academic year, Lecturers are involved in such things as the following:

  • Ongoing collaborative curriculum development work as courses are typically custom-made in-house (e.g. materials development, evaluation, ongoing action research etc. related to courses taught)
  • Research (e.g. Institutional and/or personal)
  • Participation in the ELI's Professional Development Program comprising classroom observations and mentoring
  • Participation in ELI Committee work
  • Attendance at all scheduled meetings and planned activities of the ELI, as well as other special meetings, called from time to time as needed (functions organized by the ELI include an annual welcome party for Freshman and the administration of an in-house English proficiency exam)
  • Attendance at special ceremonies and events conducted by the university, including entrance exams, Open Campus Day, and the Entrance and Graduation Ceremonies
  • Cooperating with the University’s Public Relations (PR) division in promoting the university to high school students and other interested parties. Duties may also include occasional demonstration lessons at high schools (such activities may involve additional financial compensation).

RESEARCH-ACTIVITY REQUIREMENT

By the time of contract reviews, lecturers must have demonstrated evidence of research (e.g. an approved research project, academic presentations, and/or publications) during the first contract.

Salary

  • Gross Annual Pre-tax Salary (including bonuses): ¥5,160,000
  • The salary is based on the university scale and is paid in twelve monthly instalments
  • Bonus payments are made in September and March
  • The gross salary amount is increased to: ¥5,610,000 following a contract renewal.

Other

  • Overseas Relocation Allowance: ¥100,000 to defray the relocation expenses incurred by overseas appointees
  • Commuting Allowance: Based on costs of daily travel between a staff member’s residence and the university, calculated per university regulations
  • Contract Completion Payment (based on the number of years completed).
