Dear all,<br>
<br>
Just a friendly reminder about 2014-15 Korea Foundation Postdoctoral

stated in the earlier announcement, recommendation letter writers
are to email their letters directly to the Kim Program but of course
separately from the application PDF.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>

University of Pennsylvania welcomes applications
for postdoctoral fellowship at UPenn, funded by the Korea
Foundation’s Postdoctoral Fellowship Program. Applicants will
apply simultaneously to the Korea Foundation and Penn. Selection
by the university does not guarantee selection by the Korea
Foundation, but Penn will advise the Korea Foundation of its
selected candidate(s). Scholars must have received their
Ph.D. on a subject related to Korea (in the humanities or social
sciences) within 5 years of January 31, 2014 and cannot
currently hold a regular faculty position.<strong> Confirmation
of doctoral degree conferral will be required by July 1, 2014,
and no exception will be allowed. </strong>South Korean
nationals are eligible to apply only if they have permanent
residency status in another country. <br>
<br>
(1) Before submitting a complete application package to the
Korea Foundation, please email Penn Kim Program's Ms. Melissa

the following from the KF application package (three letters of
recommendations are to be emailed directly by recommenders):<br>
- a cover letter (this will be the "request"); <br>
- a completed KF application form;<br>
- a c.v.; and<br>
- a research proposal<br>
<br>
(2) Upon receiving the request, the Kim Program will review it
along with all others before notifying every requester of our
decision by the KF application deadline of <strong>January 31,
2014</strong> (by which the requesters will also have to
submitted their application packages to the foundation). We will
be notifying the foundation and the requesters of our decision
by that date. When submitting the application package to the
foundation, the requester will have to attach a copy of the
request (i.e. the cover letter sent to the Kim Program).<br>
<br>
(3) As soon as KF announces its decision by May 2014, the Kim
program would like the requester to let us know whether or not
(s)he will be coming to Penn after all. <br>
<br>
The Kim Program will provide the Korea Foundation postdoctoral
fellow with shared office space, library access, and the
necessary practical and administrative assistance. The fellow
will be required to:<br>
-prepare publications as expected by tenure-track academic
positions in the fellow's discipline;<br>
-participation in academic activities of the Kim Program;
and<br>
-teach a course (optional)</p>
