Successful candidates will enhance and expand our excellent research by conducting research in their area of expertise, aiming towards publication of peer-reviewed outputs. They will also actively assist with planning and organising the activities of the Centre for Korean Studies. We welcome applications from scholars in any discipline within the broadly defined field of Korean Studies. 

You will have a PhD (or equivalent) in a relevant field, a developing research profile and publication pipeline, a commitment to interdisciplinary collaboration, and will make a key contribution to advancing the School’s competitive position by contributing actively to the activities of the Centre for Korean Studies. You will be able to use East Asian-language materials in your research and are expected to contribute to one of the School’s research clusters.
