Hi. Now that my parents have passed away and because I don't have dependents, I have contemplated living abroad for a couple of years. I am in my 50s with a PhD. I used to teach college, but now I work full-time in social science research for a non-profit. I am open to the kind of job as long as I can live modestly and put away some money (in US retirement funds). I taught at a fairly elite college, so teaching college-level writing, US politics, policy, or other topics in English would make sense (i.e. might be competitive for those spots). I don't speak Japanese, but I am highly motivated to learn. I realize Japan has plenty of well-educated researchers, so I guess my only advantage is my English fluency and my history of teaching. Is there any way to search for college teaching jobs? Or other ideas? Or is this crazy?
