appointee will teach at both the graduate and undergraduate levels and is
expected to work with fellow faculty in the Department of East Asian
Languages and Cultures, the Religion Department, and other university
institutions in the development of Korean studies research, teaching, and
programming at Columbia. Participation in the Columbia College Core
Curriculum will be expected. PhD. degree must be completed by July 1,
2016.  Applications will include CV, cover letter with a description of
teaching and research interests, abstract of dissertation or first book, a

to develop, two sample syllabi, a sample of written work, and three letters
of recommendation. Review of applications will begin on October 30, 2015
and continue until the position is filled. The search committee is
especially interested in candidates who, through their research, teaching
or service, will contribute to the diversity and excellence of the academic
community.
