The candidate selected will teach undergraduates in various majors and serve as an integral part of Rutgers’ programs in Korean and in East Asian languages, literatures, and cultures. She or he will be expected to undertake cutting-edge scholarly investigation and be able to maintain the ongoing relations already established with universities and scholarly institutions in Korea and other East Asian countries. Depending on area of specialization, the new member may also contribute to the Program in Comparative Literature, the Transliteratures Project, and serve as a core member of Asian studies, Global studies, and International studies.
