I would like to bring to your attention advertisements that will soon

Underwood International College, Asian Studies Division
Yonsei University
 
Tenure track position in Chinese Literature/Film

 
The Underwood International College (UIC) of Yonsei University invites
applications for a tenure-track position as Assistant Professor of Chinese
Literature or Film. The appointment will be within the Asian Studies
Division of UIC, beginning March 1, 2014. The successful candidate will
teach at the Yonsei International Campus in Songdo, located within the
greater Seoul metropolitan region. Preference will be given to candidates
who are conversant with critical and methodological issues at stake in one
or more fields, and specialize in twentieth century Chinese literature or
film. Applicants must have a promising publication record and strong
commitment to liberal arts undergraduate education.

 
Teaching responsibilities are 6 credit-hours (2 classes) per semester.
Compensation includes competitive salary, fully subsidized housing for up
to six years, health insurance and other benefits, along with a relocation
and start-up package.

 
With Yonsei University's full commitment to establishing Underwood
International College as the premier English-language liberal arts college
in Northeast Asia, UIC maintains a highly selective program, combining the
intimate atmosphere and low student-faculty ratio of a liberal arts
college, but with the considerable institutional resources of South
Korea’s leading private university. All instruction is in English, and the
student body consists of native and near-native speakers of English who
apply to UIC from some forty-seven countries. As part of Yonsei
University’s continuing efforts to increase faculty diversity, we are
accepting applications only from those who hold non-Korean passports.

 
Interested applicants should send hard copies of a cover letter,
dissertation abstract, one-page statement of teaching philosophy, a
writing sample, three letters of reference, and curriculum vitae to:

 
Chinese Literature/Film Search Committee
Underwood International College
Veritas Hall B, Room 437
Yonsei International Campus
162-1 Songdo-Dong, Yeonsu-Gu
Incheon 406-840, Republic of Korea (South Korea)
 

Review of applications will begin September 15, 2013. For additional
information prospective applicants may contact Professor Helen J.S. Lee
(helenlee at yonsei.ac.kr). The UIC’s website is: http://uic.yonsei.ac.kr
