The Department of Religion at Boston University invites applications for a tenure-track assistant professor of Modern East Asian Buddhism.   We are open to specialties in modern Japanese, Korean, and Chinese Buddhism.  We seek a scholar in Religious Studies or closely related field who will enhance existing departmental strengths in religion, health, and medicine; gender and sexuality; material/visual culture; and/or digital religion.   An interest in American diasporic (East/Southeast Asian) Buddhist communities would complement our American Religions program.   Ability to teach introductory courses in Religious Studies is essential.    Applicants should send a cover letter that succinctly addresses their research and teaching and explains how diversity, equity, and inclusion principles inform their pedagogy and scholarship; a CV; and an article/chapter-length writing sample to religion@bu.edu by October 14, 2023. Initial interviews by Zoom. Letters of recommendation and supplementary materials will be requested at a later stage.
