English teacher at a university

Hiroshima University of Economics is recruiting fixed-term English lecturers in its General Education Division to teach Required English and related courses. The university describes the appointment as full-time and the number of positions as several.

Applicants need experience teaching English at a university or equivalent institution, or the ability to do so. After appointment, they must be able to commute from Hiroshima City or its vicinity.

The appointment runs from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2030. Renewal is possible by agreement with the university, to a maximum of five years in total, without extending beyond retirement age 65. University employment rules apply.

This is one recruitment campaign with four choices of workload and annual salary. Applicants state their preferred choice on the working-conditions form.

Option A: five workdays, ten teaching periods and five office-hour periods each week, for ¥4,000,000 Japanese yen a year.

Option B: four workdays, eight teaching periods and four office-hour periods each week, for ¥3,200,000 Japanese yen a year.

Option C: four workdays, six teaching periods and three office-hour periods each week, for ¥2,600,000 Japanese yen a year.

Option D: three workdays, four teaching periods and two office-hour periods each week, for ¥1,600,000 Japanese yen a year.

Office hours involve being available in the faculty space in Meitokukan. Other duties would require a separate contract. Research funding is not provided.

Working hours are 08:45–17:30. Saturdays, Sundays and other university holidays are days off. The student summer and spring breaks are normally excluded from scheduled workdays; the university designates the dates each year. Social, employment and workers’ compensation insurance are provided.

Submit one CV, one teaching/research achievements list, one teaching report, and the preferred-working-conditions form. For the CV and achievements list, use the university forms or the permitted JREC-IN formats. Download and complete the working-conditions form from the university. The report has no prescribed layout: explain concretely how you would teach Required English B after checking its university syllabus, in approximately 1,200 Japanese characters.

Address them to the Head of the General Education Division (木本一成), Hiroshima University of Economics, 5-37-1 Gion, Asaminami-ku, Hiroshima 731-0192, Japan.
