Germany, invites applications for the position</STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><STRONG>Assistant Professor (Junior professor) in
Korean Studies</STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The position offered is available for four years.
Depending on a positive evaluation, it will be extended for two additional
years.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>In research and teaching, the ideal candidate is
expected to specialize in social and/or cultural studies, concentrating on
modern and contemporary Korea. The person selected must have fluency in spoken
and written Korean. The position includes four hours of teaching, which will
increase to six hours after the evaluation. In teaching, the applicant is
expected to represent the field of Korean Studies in its full scale. The
position is integrated in the interdisciplinary Asia Orient Institute of the
Faculty of Cultural Studies. The candidate is expected to participate in
research projects to be established at the AOI as well as in inter-faculty
institutions. Through independently fulfilling all specific university
requirements in the fields of research and teaching, the holder of the position
is expected to qualify for appointment as a university professor. In case of a
positive evaluation of the section of Korean Studies and adequate financial
resources provided, the university considers changing the position into a
tenured W-3 professorship. This, however, would require a new open call for
candidates.</FONT></DIV>
