Dear colleagues,


I would like to bring your attention to this Asian Studies tenure-track
position at Yonsei University, Underwood International College.


The ad was approved just as I arrived back in Korea a few days ago. I’m
afraid the deadline for applications is only 10 days away -- we could not
extend the *deadline: Friday, March 3 (KST)*.


I think this tenure-track position provides a great institutional home
-- *especially
for a Korean Studies scholar*. The students are super bright, Korean
Studies is taken very seriously, and Yonsei/Korea is intellectually
vibrant. Beyond that, Seoul/Songdo is cosmopolitan and safe.


If interested, because of the very short application window, please act
quickly. Thank you, in advance.


Henry

Tenure-Track Faculty Hiring Announcement:
https://faculty.yonsei.ac.kr/opening.php?mid=n02&cmid=&skeyword=&act=view&uid=101&page=0%C2%A0



The Underwood International College (UIC) of Yonsei University invites
applications for a full-time tenure-track faculty position beginning in
Fall 2023 at the level of Assistant or Associate Professor of Asian Studies
to teach and conduct research at the International Campus in Songdo,
located within the greater Seoul metropolitan region of South Korea.



*Qualifications*

We seek applicants with strong research and teaching interests in *Asian
Studies with a focus on the Humanities (including but not limited to
History, Culture, Society, Film Studies, and Literature). *Preference will
be given to candidates working on Korean Studies, but those who take a
broader regional perspective will also be considered.



The successful candidate would be a scholar with a promising publication
record, firm commitment to our students’ undergraduate liberal arts
education, and research and teaching interests that engage global
perspectives. As all instruction at UIC is conducted in English, candidates
must demonstrate excellent communication skills in English. Consistent with
Yonsei University’s continuing efforts to increase faculty diversity, *we
only encourage applications from non-Korean citizens*. *Candidates must
hold a Ph.D. prior to the appointment date beginning from September 1,
2023.*



Teaching responsibilities are 6 credit-hours per week (2 courses per
semester). The successful candidate will teach undergraduate courses in
their field of expertise, though an ability to teach introductory courses
in Asian Studies would also be considered an advantage.

Compensation includes a competitive salary, health insurance, and other
benefits. Additionally, non-Korean citizens not currently living in Korea
are eligible for housing support for up to 6 years, reimbursement for
international moving expenses, and an excellent retirement plan.



*About the Asian Studies Major, HASS Division, and UIC*

·                *The Asian Studies Major*

Founded on the humanities and the humanistic social sciences, the Asian
Studies major is an interdisciplinary program dedicated to the study of the
histories, cultures, and societies of Asia. For some students, the Asian
Studies major will provide the intellectual foundations necessary for
graduate study. For others, it will serve as a springboard to professional
careers boosted by cosmopolitan perspectives on intellectual, literary, and
political endeavours, of the past and present. The Asian Studies major has
research strengths in the history of colonialism, imperialism, comparative
literature, and media studies in East and Central Asia from the fourteenth
century to the present.

Students not only specialize in their respective fields, but also learn to
explore and utilize the broader perspectives and framework that are
necessary in today’s workplaces, whether it be the public sector,
multinational corporations, NGOs, or academia.

Yonsei University’s Underwood International College is a highly selective
program at South Korea’s most prestigious private university, and combines
