the Korean Studies part as I have done here). If you happen to have a Chinese Studies background with documented linguistic and research skills in Korean and Korean history, you are also welcome to apply. As will become clear from the advertisement and our
name (Center of Asian and Transcultural Studies, CATS) we generally value a <i>transcultural</i> perspective. For this, it is imperative that we strengthen our Korean expertise. So we hope for your support, if you value either Korean Studies globally or us
(or both). </span></p>
