Korean Family in Comparative Perspective - post-doc at University of Illinois - applications due 2/25/2011

by Jessica Matteson

From Marty! Post-doc at my alma mater... 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 and some funds for domestic research-related travel. Application deadline: February 25, 2011 Please submit electronically http://go.illinois.edu/KFCP_Application<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. Please address inquires to slcl-hr(a)illinois.edu<mailto:slcl-hr@illinois.edu> The University of Illinois is an Affirmative Action / Equal Opportunity Employer and welcomes individuals with diverse backgrounds, experiences, and ideas who embrace and value diversity and inclusivity (www.inclusiveillinois.illinois.edu<http://www.inclusiveillinois.illinois.edu>).

Harvard's Saguaro Seminar seeks strong quantitative post-docs for 2011-2012

by Jessica Matteson

Good afternoon, I write on behalf of Professor Bob Putnam and Tom Sander of Harvard Kennedy School's Saguaro Seminar, who are searching for two stellar post doctoral fellows for the 2011-2012 academic year. We hope that you might please forward on this message to any potential candidates who may be a match for the Saguaro Seminar. Our research will examine questions such as: *What is the impact of sustained unemployment on civic engagement? *Are social and political cleavages growing -- e.g., between young and old, or haves and have-nots? *How can societies adapt to challenges posed by large-scale immigration? *Does religion foster or impair democratic citizenship? During the fellowship, we hope the selected scholars will produce at least one to two high quality scholarly articles on our shared research agenda. For your reference, I've attached a full description and application for each position; this information can also be found on our website at http://www.hks.harvard.edu/saguaro/legatum/legatumapplication.htm and http://www.hks.harvard.edu/saguaro/research/postdoc1.htm. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to be in touch with Tom Sander at 617-496-2764 or tom_sander(a)harvard.edu <mailto:tom_sander@harvard.edu>. We thank you for your help in producing strong research on these important topics.
