The Department of Asian Languages and Cultures at Northwestern University seeks to appoint a full-time faculty member at the assistant (tenure track) level in Korean Literature and Culture. We welcome candidates who work across multiple genres and media from the early modern to contemporary periods.
The successful candidate will join five tenured and tenure-line faculty specializing in Chinese, Japanese, and Hindi literature, and fifteen continuing lecturer faculty in the Chinese, Hindi-Urdu, Japanese, and Korean languages in the newly-formed (Fall 2013) Department of Asian Languages and Cultures, as well as several affiliated faculty in other departments who work substantially in Asian studies. As a new member of a growing department, the candidate should bring excellence in research and teaching, as well as enthusiasm and creativity in developing undergraduate curricula, establishing departmental governance, and, at a future date, planning a competitive graduate program.
This search is proceeding in tandem with a search for a tenure-line position in South Asian literature at the rank of assistant professor. More information on the current searches and the Department of Asian Languages and Cultures can be found on our job opening page on our website (www.wcas.northwestern.edu/alc).
Applicants should submit a letter of application, C.V., a substantial writing sample (e.g., a dissertation or book chapter), and three letters of recommendation (sent separately). All materials must be submitted electronically through the online application form available on our website.
For full consideration applications should be received by November 10, 2014. The position is open until filled.
