[KS] [Job Posting] University of Michigan- Korean Politics Position

[ncks info]

The University of Michigan’s Department of Political Science and the Nam
Center for Korean Studies at the International Institute seek qualified
applicants for a 50/50% jointly appointed tenure-track position at the
Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor rank with research and teaching
interests in Korean politics. Preference will be given to the candidates
who will be hired at Associate or Full rank. The successful candidate will
be appointed to the Korea Foundation Professor of Korean Studies.



We seek an interdisciplinary scholar whose work sheds light on important
political issues in the Korean peninsula and beyond. Korea has gone through
dramatic transformations in the last decades: from colonial occupation to
divided nation-building compounded by the Cold War; from a poor agrarian
society to the fourteenth largest global economy grappling with inequality
and environmental issues; from a military dictatorship to an electoral
democracy with vibrant social movements; and from the major source of
emigrants to one of the most popular immigrant destinations in East Asia.
We welcome scholars whose work comparative political understanding of
economic development and inequality; democratization and social movements;
geopolitics and national security; globalization, immigration, and
diasporas; or any other topics that are critical in contemporary Korean
politics.



The anticipated starting date for this university-year appointment is
August 28, 2022, and the Department of Political Science will be the tenure
home.



Applicants should include the following application materials in PDF
format: a cover letter, a curriculum vitae, a concise statement describing
current and future plans for research, a statement of teaching philosophy
and experience, evidence of teaching excellence (if any), writing samples,
graduate transcripts (for entry-level candidates), and a statement of
activities contributing to diversity, equity, and inclusion in
academia.   Candidates
for this position must have completed their PhD by September 1, 2022.
Entry-level applicants should submit three reference letters.  All other
applicants should provide names and contact information for three
references.
