Position at the University of British Columbia

[Guest guest]

Dear Colleagues,

 

Kindly bring the announcement reproduced below to the attention of all

qualified scholars. Most inquiries will probably be better answered by the

Chair, South Asian Search, Dept. of Asian Studies, Univ. of British

Columbia, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada V6T 1Z2. However, if the

prospective candidates specializing in one or more of the following areas

need some specific information pertaining to the study of the areas at UBC,

I may be able to supply it (such interested persons, as far as possible,

should call me on my office telephone number, 1 (country code)- 604 (area

code)-822-5185, before contacting the Chair; I am unlikely to find the time

needed to respond to e-mails; messages for me to return the call can be left

on 1-604-822-0019): Sanskrit, Pali, Prakrit, Indology in general, early

Hinduism/Vedism/Brahmanism, Indian Buddhism, Jainism, Indian philosophy.

 

Many thanks. Sorry for any cross-postings.
