The National University of Singapore is seeking to fill a tenure-track position at the level of Assistant Professor in the Department of Southeast Asian Studies.  We are particularly interested in recruiting scholars who will enjoy the opportunity of working collaboratively with colleagues from different disciplines.

The disciplinary focus is broad, as we are particularly interested in applicants whose research and teaching are multi- or inter-disciplinary. Priority will be given to applicants with a regional focus on Mainland Southeast Asia or the Philippines. Candidates should have expertise in Southeast Asian languages relevant to their research.

The successful applicant will be expected to take up the position by January 2025 at the earliest, or latest by August 2025.

  • Evidence of teaching experience (course reviews, sample syllabi, teaching awards)
  • A list of three referees, including the applicant’s main PhD supervisor/advisor (names, contact details and applicant’s relationship to them). Only referees of shortlisted applicants will be invited to submit reference letters.
