Korean Family in Comparative Perspective (KFCP) Postdoctoral
Fellowship announcement
…………………………………………………………..
The 5-year Korean Family in Comparative Perspective (KFCP) 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 a KFCP
Postdoctoral Fellowship starting August 16, 2011. This one-year
position, with the possibility of a one-year extension, is open to:
(1) recent PhD recipients (within the last 3 years) and (2) those who
will deposit their dissertation by August 15, 2011.
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 welcomed 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 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 including benefits, if benefit
eligible, and some funds for domestic research-related travel.
Application deadline: February 25, 2011
Please submit electronically http://go.illinois.edu/KFCP_Application
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.
