University of California - San Diego, Department of History
AKS Postdoctoral Fellow/Lecturer in Transnational Korean Studies

Institution Type:   College / University
Location:   California, United States
Position:   Fellow

The Department of History within the Division of Arts & Humanities at UC San Diego is committed to academic excellence and diversity within the faculty, staff, and student body. The recipient of a five-year (2013-18) grant from the Academy of Korean Studies (AKS) in South Korea, UCSD is pleased to announce a postdoctoral/lecturer position in Transnational Korean Studies for the 2015-16 academic year. This inter-disciplinary position is part of a campus-wide effort to place historical and contemporary issues concerning the Korean peninsula – migration, colonialism/neo-imperialism, developmentalism, cultural flows, security, and corruption, for example – in the regional and global contexts to which they belong. We are especially interested in candidates who can dialogue with both the humanities and the social sciences and whose research and teaching complement the existing strengths of UCSD’s Program in Transnational Korean Studies (http://koreanstudies.ucsd.edu/). Areas such as North Korean culture and politics, film and media studies, transnational labor, minority populations, and comparative economies, among others, are particularly welcome. In addition to conducting advanced mentored research, the successful fellow/lecturer will be expected to offer two courses on the quarter system, present one research lecture, and participate in the activities of the Program. The preferred candidate will have demonstrated strong leadership or a commitment to support diversity, equity, and inclusion in an academic setting.

For further information about contributions to diversity statements, see http://facultyequity.ucsd.edu/Faculty-Applicant-C2D-Info.asp.Theon-line application deadline for the 2015-2016 academic year is Friday, January 30, 2015. Late applications will not be accepted.

Preference will be given to individuals in non-tenured positions who (will) have earned their Ph.D. between 2007 and September 30, 2015. It is preferable that applicants have their Ph.D. degree in hand by the time of appointment (September 30, 2015).
Salary: Salary is commensurate with qualifications and based on University of California pay scales.
