Waseda Institute for Advanced Study

Hey, graduates! Want to work in Japan?

Waseda University is aiming to further strengthen its research and education by taking steps to realize a research system and graduate school system that will allow young researchers to think flexibly and to exercise their capabilities and talents to the full. A new system of fixed-term appointments for younger faculty is being established as part of this effort, based upon the visiting faculty system, and the Waseda Institute for Advanced Study (“the Institute”) was established in September, 2006 to provide a framework in which younger researchers can devote themselves to research in a highly developed research environment. We are now issuing a call for younger researchers who wish to take up fixed-term appointments at the Institute to engage in research activity.

This appears to be a postdoc situation, but with the title "visiting professor" attached to it. Note that this is also for you humanities and social sciences people, too. The requirements don't preclude ABDs, either: "Having doctoral degree (including PhD acquired at an overseas institution, excluding professional degrees) in hand, or having expectation of degree by October 1, 2007, or having completed three years of research guidance in a doctoral program." Looks to be a very interesting opportunity.
