Amherst has taken a leadership role among highly selective liberal arts colleges and universities in successfully diversifying the racial, socio-economic, and geographic profile of its student body. The College is similarly committed to enriching its educational experience and its culture through the diversity of its faculty, administration and staff.
Job Description:
Amherst College invites applications for the Japanese Teaching Assistant position. The Japanese Teaching Assistant is 35 hours per week for the academic year, 15 hours per week for 10 weeks over the summer, full-time, $20.56 – $30.00/hour – commensurate with experience. Given Amherst’s distinction as one of the most diverse liberal arts colleges in the country, the successful candidate will demonstrate the ways in which they bring value to and will work towards supporting a broadly diverse community.
Summary of Duties and Responsibilities
The Japanese Teaching Assistant will support faculty members in the delivery of undergraduate courses by assisting with instruction, grading, student engagement, and administrative tasks.
Students who take Japanese courses meet for more than regular class hours per week because it takes longer for them to learn Japanese compared to European languages. Each Japanese language instructor teaches three courses per semester, so they need assistance for their courses, especially for speaking. We offer multiple levels of Japanese language courses and the assistant helps with courses of all levels.
The Japanese language program is involved with many Japan-related events per year. Because of the historical relation between Amherst and Doshisha University, we often have visitors from Doshisha and other parts of Japan. The assistant is occasionally asked to help with these events as well. The department also manages the Japanese garden (B-level of Webster); we hire one or two students to regularly clean the garden. The assistant is occasionally asked to supervise these students. The department also manages the on-campus apartment for the Doshisha faculty. The assistant may be asked to help with visitors from Doshisha, especially when they do not speak English.
