vassar.edu>Vassar College, a prestigious, private liberal arts college located in the beautiful Hudson Valley (approximately two hours by train from New York City), is pleased to announce an opening for a Japanese Language Fellow (Intern) for the 1998-99 academic year (late August, 1998, through late May, 1999.) The responsibilities of the language fellow involve a work load of twelve hours a week, including some drill sessions. It is also expected that the language fellow will participate in the Japanese language table which meets over dinner once a week in the dining hall. The Language Fellow, who must be a native speaker of Japanese, works closely assisting two full-time faculty members in the instruction of Japanese. Language Fellows receive free room and board on the Vassar campus in student dormitories for the academic year (except during the winter and spring breaks when the dining hall is closed), a $450 per month stipend (10 months), and may take up to two courses per semester free at Vassar. Language Fellows should have a B.A., as well as a good command of the English language so they may benefit from the opportunity to enroll in Vassar courses. Transportation to and from the U.S. is not included. Vassar is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer. The application should include a letter and vita (please include phone numbers); we also ask that at least one letter of recommendation be sent. Applications will be reviewed as they arrive on a rolling basis, therefore, serious candidates should submit their applications immediately. Inquires or applications should be sent to: Professor Jesse Kalin, Director Program in Asian Studies Box 379 - Vassar College Poughkeepsie, N.Y. 12604 U.S.A. or FAX #914-437-7575. Mary E.
