*MELLON POST-DOCTORAL FELLOW IN KOREAN/EAST ASIAN ARCHEOLOGY AND HISTORY*

The East Asian Studies and Anthropology Departments at Oberlin College
invites applications for a non-continuing faculty position as a Mellon
Postdoctoral Fellowship in the College of Arts and Sciences. Appointment
to this position will be for a term of two years beginning Fall 2012 and
will carry the rank of Visiting Assistant Professor. The position is
supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and by a challenge grant
from the National Endowment for the Humanities.

The incumbent will teach in the general area of Korean/East Asian
archeology and history of any period from 2nd c. BCE - 900 CE (pre-Three
Kingdoms period to Unified Silla).The area of specialization is open. We
encourage candidates to apply whose research interests also focus on
international disputes over historical interpretation, the
popularization of the ancient past in popular culture as well the
politicization of history. Qualified candidates should have substantial
experience of research and scholarship in Korean and East Asian
archeology as well as full command of the regional historical debates
related to these more contemporary issues. Total course load is two
courses per academic year. Further information is available at:
http://www.oberlin.edu/eastasianstudies.

To be assured of consideration, applicants should submit a cover letter,
a /curriculum vitae/, graduate transcripts, a writing sample, title and
brief summary of a proposed course; and three letters of reference
to:Sheila Miyoshi Jager, Chair, East Asian Studies Program 50 North
Professor Street Peters Hall 316 Oberlin Ohio 44074. Review of the
applications will begin on January 23, 2012, and will continue until the
position is filled.

Oberlin College is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer
committed to creating an institutional environment free from
discrimination and harassment based on race, color, sex, marital status,
religion, creed, national origin, disability, age, military or veteran
status, sexual orientation, family relationship to an employee of
Oberlin College, and gender identity and expression.

Oberlin was the first coeducational institution to grant bachelor's
degrees to women and historically has been a leader in the education of
African-Americans; the college was also among the first to prohibit
discrimination based on sexual orientation.In that spirit, we are
particularly interested in receiving applications from individuals who
would contribute to the diversity of our faculty in all respects.
