Internship

December 4 – 12
Ozu and His Afterlives Film Series

This December marks the 110th anniversary of Yasujiro Ozu’s birth and the 50th anniversary of his death. To commemorate the occasion, the Film Society of Lincoln Center is proud to present the U.S. premieres of brand-new restorations of two exquisite color films by Ozu,Equinox Flower (1958) and An Autumn Afternoon (1962). To pay tribute to his enduring influence, the series also includes seven films by contemporary directors—from Jim Jarmusch to Pedro Costa, who once called Ozu’s films “documentaries about mankind”—that bear some trace, obvious or subtle, of the great Japanese master. All are films that in their own way—to borrow a phrase from the director Claire Denis—grew under the shade of Ozu.

Dear friends,

Please let us introduce our internship program in response to the inquiry
“Internships in Japan?” from Jeffrey Angles, Associate Professor, Western
Michigan University.

Since 2007, Institute of Contemporary Asian Studies (ICAS) at Temple
University Japan Campus (TUJ), has hosted summer interns from many
universities across the world. These unpaid summer internships for non-TUJ
students (undergraduate and graduate) offer a unique opportunity to spend a
productive summer in Tokyo. You can find out more about the program at
http://www.tuj.ac.jp/icas/internship-program/

The interns to work as research associates with faculty members, help
organize conferences, or work on special projects with TUJ administrators.
Interns have worked on organizing major academic symposia, assisted faculty
in their research (in the fields of history, anthropology, sociology,
international relations, communications and literature) and co-written
articles. For students who have their own research project (such as writing
a senior thesis), programs may be devised that suit their interests while
contributing to the research activities of TUJ faculty.

Interns participate in seminars and discussion groups at TUJ, visits to
museums, businesses, embassies, and interesting sights in Tokyo and
Yokohama.

TUJ encourages interns to take advantage of their time in Tokyo by
attending conferences and other cultural events. Interns will be provided
with networking opportunities in the professional communities of Japanese
academia and government, and can participate in tours and other activities
both within Tokyo and across Japan, which TUJ sponsors for its own students
during its session.

We just started recruiting the interns for summer 2014. We would appreciate
if you could forward the information to the appropriate person/department
at your school and spread a word out.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at
[email protected].
