POSITION> Assistant Professor/Professor, Chinese Buddhist Studies, UCLA

by Robert Buswell
Chinese Buddhist Studies—UCLA


The Department of Asian Languages & Cultures (http://www.alc.ucla.edu/) at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), invites applications for an open-rank, tenured or tenure-track, faculty position in Chinese Buddhist Studies. This position is intended to rebuild one of the core fields of the department’s traditional strength in Buddhist Studies. We seek a scholar with demonstrated distinction and enduring future potential in research and a robust commitment to undergraduate education. Mastery of both modern and literary Chinese (especially the Buddhist argot of literary Chinese), and facility in at least one other of the canonical languages of Buddhist Studies, is a desideratum. We are also especially interested in candidates who research Buddhism’s engagement with Chinese religion more broadly.

The successful candidate will be expected to sustain an active research and publication schedule, teach effectively both undergraduate and graduate courses, provide quality service to the department and campus, and demonstrate a lasting commitment to diversity-related teaching, research, and/or service. Training in comparative, interdisciplinary, and transnational methodologies, as well as an ability to work across the cultural regions covered in the department, are also desirable. We also prefer a dynamic program builder, who can immediately contribute to the department’s undergraduate and graduate programs in Buddhist Studies and activities in the Center for Buddhist Studies in the International Institute. We also expect applicants to be interested in contributing to interdisciplinary dialogue with colleagues throughout the university. Finally, we welcome candidates whose experience in teaching, research, or community service has prepared them to contribute to our commitment to diversity and excellence. Women and minority candidates are especially encouraged to apply. Appointment will commence on July 1, 2019.

Applicants are expected to have PhD in hand by the time of appointment. Salary will be commensurate with experience. Please submit CV, representative course evaluations, statements of research, teaching, and diversity, a recent writing sample or publication, two sample syllabi (one undergraduate, one graduate), and a list of three letter of reference writers online to UC Recruit. For questions regarding this process, please feel free to contact Robert Buswell, chair of the search committee, via e-mail: Buswell@humnet.ucla.edu.

Review of applications will begin November 12, 2018, and will continue until position is closed on December 1, 2018. Application link:

RESOURCE> Linkup between Bingenheimer

 Bibliography of Translations and Chinese Buddhist 

Canonical Attributions database

by Michael Radich
Dear list members,
We just wanted briefly to let you know that we have now linked the following two resources:
“Bibliography of Translations from the Chinese Buddhist Canon into Western Languages”
(maintained by Marcus Bingenheimer)
and
Chinese Buddhist Canonical Attributions database
(maintained by Michael Radich)
This means that users of the Bibliography will see, by each text listed, a link that will take them 
directly to relevant information for the same text in CBC@; and vice versa. For examples, please see:
http://mbingenheimer.net/tools/bibls/transbibl.html#T0125 (at the right hand end of the blue

  title bar for the text)
https://dazangthings.nz/cbc/text/2237/ (below the basic text info at the top
 of the page)
We hope that this improvement will make it more convenient for users to make the most of
 both resources.
With our best wishes,
Marcus Bingenheimer, Temple
Michael Radich, Heidelberg
