01/20/2012 FYI No comments

An inter­est­ing post­doc posi­tion on Korean fam­ily in com­par­a­tive perspective.

ATTENTION: Koreanists AND East Asia Specialists with Comparative inter­ests in the Koreas

Institution Type: College / University
Location: Illinois, United States
Position: Post-Doctoral Fellow

The 5-year Korean Family in Comparative Perspective (KFCP, 2010-) Laboratory for the Globalization of Korean Studies at the University of Illinois, funded by the Academy of Korean Studies, and housed in the Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures, is pleased to announce its sec­ond KFCP Postdoctoral Fellowship start­ing August 16, 2012. This one-year posi­tion, with the pos­si­bil­ity of a one-year exten­sion, is open to: (1) recent PhD recip­i­ents (within the last 5 years) and (2) those who will deposit their dis­ser­ta­tion by August 15, 2012.

The KFCP Laboratory aims to bring the Korean fam­ily to the cen­ter of com­par­a­tive East Asian and gen­eral fam­ily stud­ies, high­light­ing Korea as a pro­duc­tive com­par­a­tive case of inter­est to non-Koreanists across a range of dis­ci­plines and schol­arly loca­tions. KFCP Fellows must be schol­ars inter­ested in com­par­a­tive work on the Korean fam­ily. Scholars with pri­mary exper­tise in the fam­ily of other East Asian coun­tries (e.g., China, Hong Kong, Japan, Taiwan) are par­tic­u­larly wel­come to apply. Scholars with pri­mary research empha­sis on the Koreas must have a con­crete plan to con­duct com­par­a­tive research (i.e., with another country/region). The Postdoctoral Fellowship is open to schol­ars in any human­i­ties or social sci­ence discipline.

The KFCP Laboratory is directed by anthro­pol­o­gist Nancy Abelmann and includes 3 KFCP Laboratory Fellows: Jungwon Kim (EALC and History, University of Illinois), Seung-Kyung Kim (Women’s Studies, University of Maryland), and Hyunjoon Park (Sociology, University of Pennsylvania). The 2011 – 13 cur­rent Postdoctoral Fellow is his­to­rian of China, Elizabeth LaCouture (History, Colby College)

The Postdoctoral Fellow will be wel­comed to an active Koreanist com­mu­nity at the University of Illinois that includes a biweekly Korea Workshop (that will actively engage the themes of the Laboratory). The KFCP Fellow will be pro­vided the oppor­tu­nity to par­tic­i­pate in orga­niz­ing a Korean Family Colloquium Series which grad­u­ate stu­dents will be able to attend for par­tial credit. The KFCP Laboratory will be guided by a National Advisory Board (See list below). KFCP Laboratory Director, Fellows, and National Board Members will take an active role in nur­tur­ing the com­par­a­tive schol­ar­ship of the Postdoctoral Fellow. The Postdoctoral Fellow will also have the oppor­tu­nity to “work­shop” his or her manuscript/s with experts from both on and off campus.

The KFCP Fellow will be paid $40,000 and ben­e­fits. To ensure full con­sid­er­a­tion, all required appli­ca­tion mate­ri­als must be sub­mit­ted elec­tron­i­cally by February 10, 2012 at http://​go​.illi​nois​.edu/​K​F​C​P​_​A​p​p​l​i​c​a​t​ion Referees will be con­tacted elec­tron­i­cally upon sub­mis­sion of the appli­ca­tion. Only elec­tronic appli­ca­tions will be accepted.

Applications must include:

  1. A cover let­ter review­ing your research his­tory, includ­ing your dis­ser­ta­tion and other publications.
  2. A state­ment of inter­est in the Korean fam­ily in com­par­a­tive per­spec­tive, includ­ing a pub­li­ca­tion plan that includes the sub­mis­sion of one arti­cle for each post­doc­toral year (OR a sin­gle– or co-authored book man­u­script) (this can be inte­grated into the cover letter).
  3. A state­ment of com­mit­ment to active par­tic­i­pa­tion in KFCP Laboratory events, includ­ing the Korean Family Colloquium Series (this can be a sim­ple state­ment in the cover letter).
  4. One writ­ing sam­ple, 25 – 40 pages.
  5. Contact infor­ma­tion for three ref­er­ees who can speak to your schol­arly work and abil­i­ties and to the fea­si­bil­ity of your research and pub­li­ca­tions plans for com­par­a­tive work on the Korean fam­ily. Referees will be con­tacted elec­tron­i­cally and asked to sub­mit their letters.

During their stay at Illinois, post­doc­toral research asso­ciates will be expected to par­tic­i­pate in research, teach­ing, and ser­vice. While research and par­tic­i­pa­tion in the intel­lec­tual life of the pro­gram is the pri­mary respon­si­bil­ity, research asso­ciates will be expected to teach a course in Asian American Studies. The spe­cific teach­ing duties will be decided in con­sul­ta­tion with the Director.

INTERACT is a pio­neer­ing pro­gram at Columbia University that focuses on devel­op­ing global stud­ies in the under­grad­u­ate cur­ricu­lum through a net­work of post­doc­toral schol­ars focused on cross-regional, trans-regional and inter­dis­ci­pli­nary study. Columbia University will offer sev­eral INTERACT Postdoctoral Fellowships in the 2012 – 2013 aca­d­e­mic year, with can­di­dates selected by cen­ters and insti­tutes across the University. Candidates will func­tion as liaisons between their home office and the INTERACT net­work of schol­ars with other regional and dis­ci­pli­nary specializations.

The Weatherhead East Asian Institute is pleased to offer one INTERACT Fellowship to an out­stand­ing scholar of mod­ern and con­tem­po­rary East Asia with a demon­strated empha­sis on global con­text and con­nec­tions. The fel­low­ship will cover a 10-month period begin­ning August 1, 2012, and comes with a stipend of $45,000 plus ben­e­fits.

These objec­tives will be met through inno­v­a­tive courses, par­tic­i­pat­ing in Institute pro­grams and events, and an annual out­reach event orga­nized col­lab­o­ra­tively by INTERACT Fellows.
