    There are two tenured and one non-tenure track positions available. The non-tenure track position is envisioned as a first-time position for an academic who is a native speaker of English, but does not necessarily have to be competent in Japanese or have long history of publications. The two tenured positions are meant for academics who need not necessarily be native speakers of English, but must be competent in Japanese. All CVs will be examined with equal fairness, but there is currently no perceived need in the Department for a fourth instructor of transformational grammar. There is, however, currently no tenured member of the teaching staff specialising in phonetics. Furthermore, although the department does have tenured staff teaching Computer Linguistics, English Education, and Language Culture, there is a perceived need for more staff in each of these areas.

    There is no discrimination according to sex, sexual orientation, religion, race, or nationality, but, as the average age of the tenured staff is quite high and in order to partially rectify this, it is likely that at least one of the two tenured positions (and fairly certain the non-tenure track position) will go to a candidate 40 or younger. Individuals with a Ph.D, teaching experience, and publications will be given preference. A final decision will be reached by the end of July 2002 according to the perceived quality of the academic backgrounds and publications of the applicants.
