Cornell East Asia Program 2025-2026 LB Korean Studies Postdoctoral Associate

The Cornell East Asia Program is accepting applications for a post-doctoral associate in residence at Cornell (Ithaca Campus) for the 2025-2026 academic year. Advanced Ph.D. candidates and recent Ph.D. graduates within 5 years of their Ph.D. conferral whose research pertains to Korea are encouraged to apply to this non-teaching research residency. Application deadline is February 1st, 2025.

The LB Korean Studies Postdoctoral Scholar research program within the East Asia Program and the Mario Einaudi Center for International Studies at Cornell University aims to cultivate new collaborations that advance scholarship, knowledge dissemination, teaching, outreach, and engagement with general publics for a deeper understanding of Korea in the contemporary world. The program is open to scholars whose research and teaching focuses on Korea, especially with a comparative, global, and interdisciplinary perspective.

LB Korean Studies Postdoctral Scholar can have backgrounds in any humanities discipline, broadly conceived. In addition to traditional Korean studies fields, such as literature and history, we also envision Korea-focused work that transcends conventional disciplinary, temporal, and regional boundaries, in fields including but not limited to the environmental humanities, material culture, Indigenous studies, the blue humanities, gender studies, and Asian American studies. Selection will be based on the potential of the candidate’s research to cultivate dialogue and nurture collaboration across academic disciplines, as well as integrate, synthesize, and build upon existing disciplinary contributions to Korean studies research. Scholars will work within the East Asia Program and the Einaudi Center for International Studies as well as engage with mentors and peers across Cornell. Undergraduate teaching is optional and depends on the applicant’s preference.
