A prominent and rapidly growing PhD-granting research institution located in southern Japan is seeking an outstanding academic leader to serve as Dean of Faculty Affairs (DFA). This is a rare opportunity to join a world-class, international graduate university dedicated to cutting-edge research across scientific disciplines. The DFA will play a central role in shaping the academic and strategic direction of the institution. The functioning language of the institute is in English, with 70% of faculty, staff and students being non-Japanese, so Japanese language ability is not a prerequisite.
