In 2015, Keio University's Shonan Fujisawa Campus celebrated its 25th anniversary. Looking forward toward the next twenty-five years, the Faculty of Policy Management, Faculty of Environment and Information Studies, and Graduate School of Media and Governance are taking the bold step of opening a new Faculty Recruitment Office (FRO) to attract leading educators and researchers interested in global society.
Research areas at SFC include governmental policy design, social innovation, international strategy, management and organization, metropolitan and regional strategy, leading information systems, leading regional design, leading biology, environmental design, and human environment.
The Faculty of Policy Management and the Faculty of Environment and Information Studies research fields are detailed at
https://www.sfc.keio.ac.jp/en/pmei/research_fields/
We are looking for people who can lead efforts to solve social issues and open up new fields of research in areas not currently represented at SFC. From 2016 to 2019, we expect to hire approximately 25 tenure-track and tenured faculty.
We are looking for candidates willing to build on their prior experience in individual areas and commit to multidisciplinary education, research and social practice on a global scale with other researchers after arriving at SFC.
Research fields associated with each area are list below. Whether the applicant has a track record that spans more than one of these fields will be taken into consideration. Which faculty or graduate school to which successful applicants are assigned will be determined after the hiring decision is made and may not exactly match these fields.
