The USC Korean Studies Institute post­doc­toral fel­low­ships, 2012 – 2013

Funded by an insti­tu­tional grant from the Academy of Korean Studies, the USC Korean Studies Institute is accept­ing appli­ca­tions for its 2012 – 2013 post­doc­toral fel­lows pro­gram. Up to two post­doc­toral fel­low­ships will be offered. The post­doc­toral pro­gram is open to schol­ars from all fields whose research per­tains to Korea or that involves Korea as part of a com­par­a­tive or inter­dis­ci­pli­nary research. We par­tic­u­larly encour­age pro­pos­als from the social sci­ences and non-traditional fields, such as Korean-American studies.

In addi­tion to a salary and ben­e­fits, the KSI will pro­vide each fel­low with office space at the KSI and a small research bud­get. The fel­lows are expected to par­tic­i­pate in Institute pro­grams and sup­port the activ­i­ties of the KSI. The Fellow must have a Ph.D. in hand, and should be within 5 years of receiv­ing the Ph.D., by the begin­ning of the appointment.

To apply, please send a let­ter of appli­ca­tion, c.v., the­sis abstract, two let­ters of rec­om­men­da­tion (to be sent directly by the ref­er­ees), and a writ­ing sam­ple to Elaine Kim, Associate Director, USC-Korean Studies Institute, (elaineek@​dornsife.​usc.​edu). The dead­line for the receipt of all mate­ri­als is February 1, 2012. It is strongly encour­aged that appli­cants apply by email, although we will accept hard­copy appli­ca­tions, as well.

Information about USC Korean Studies Institute pro­grams can be found at our web­site, http://​dorn​sife​.usc​.edu/​k​s​i​/​h​o​me/.

USC strongly val­ues diver­sity and is com­mit­ted to equal oppor­tu­nity in employ­ment. Women and men, and mem­bers of all racial and eth­nic groups, are encour­aged to apply.

SSRC Postdoctoral Fellowship for Transregional Research: Inter-Asian Contexts and Connections

Call for Applications
SSRC Postdoctoral Fellowship for Transregional Research: Inter-Asian Contexts and Connections

Deadline is February 13th 2012.

The SSRC is pleased to announce a pilot post­doc­toral fel­low­ship pro­gram that will sup­port tran­sre­gional research under the rubric Inter-Asian Contexts and Connections. Its pur­pose is to strengthen the under­stand­ing of issues and geo­gra­phies that don’t fit neatly into exist­ing divi­sions of acad­e­mia or the world and to develop new approaches, prac­tices, and oppor­tu­ni­ties in inter­na­tional, regional, and area stud­ies in the United States. Funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, these fel­low­ships will help junior schol­ars (those at the post­doc­toral stage, one to seven years out of the PhD) com­plete first books and/or under­take sec­ond projects. In addi­tion to fund­ing research, the pro­gram will cre­ate net­works and shared resources that will sup­port Fellows well beyond the grant period.

The Postdoctoral Fellowship for Transregional Research will thus pro­vide promis­ing schol­ars impor­tant sup­port at crit­i­cal junc­tures in their careers. As stressed by SSRC pres­i­dent Craig Calhoun, “Recent PhDs have writ­ten bril­liant dis­ser­ta­tions bring­ing new excite­ment to the social sci­ences and human­i­ties by tak­ing on the intel­lec­tual chal­lenges of inno­v­a­tive tran­sre­gional work. We want to help them com­plete, con­sol­i­date, and expand the work they’ve undertaken.

The intel­lec­tual thrust of the pilot project will be the re-conceptualization of Asia as an inter­linked his­tor­i­cal and geo­graphic for­ma­tion stretch­ing from the Middle East through Eurasia, Central Asia, and South Asia to Southeast Asia and East Asia. Proposals sub­mit­ted for the fel­low­ship com­pe­ti­tion should bear upon processes that con­nect places and peo­ples (such as migra­tion, media, and resource flows) as well as those that recon­fig­ure local and trans-local con­texts (such as shift­ing bor­ders, urban­iza­tion, and social move­ments). The broad focus of the pro­gram is intended to advance tran­sre­gional research as well as to estab­lish struc­tures for link­ing schol­ars across dis­ci­plines in the arts, the human­i­ties, and the social sci­ences. Fifteen fel­low­ships will be awarded over the two-year course of the pilot program.

Scholars must have received their Ph.D. on a sub­ject related to Korea (in the human­i­ties or social sci­ences) within 5 years of their appli­ca­tion and can­not cur­rently hold a reg­u­lar fac­ulty posi­tion. Confirmation of doc­toral degree con­fer­ral will be required by July 1, 2012, and no excep­tion will be allowed.

They will also be involved in at least one of Quadrant’s research and pub­lish­ing col­lab­o­ra­tives: Design, Architecture, and Culture ; Environment, Culture, and Sustainability; Global Cultures; and Health and Society. Fellows will give a pub­lic lec­ture and will present a work-in-progress in a work­shop set­ting with their Quadrant col­lab­o­ra­tive group or groups. In addi­tion, they will work directly with an edi­tor from the University of Minnesota Press to develop their man­u­scripts for sub­mis­sion.
