"The Underwood International College of Yonsei University invites applications for a tenure-track position as Assistant Professor of Comparative Literature to teach at the International campus in Songdo, Incheon, located within the greater Seoul metropolitan region. The specialization is open, but the ideal candidate should be able to teach courses in one or more of the following areas: postcolonial studies, world literature, Renaissance and Baroque literatures, or critical theory. Applicants must have strong research credentials and a firm commitment to liberal arts undergraduate education.

Yonsei University's Underwood International College is a highly competitive program at South Korea's most prestigious private university, and combines the intimate atmosphere and low student-faculty ratio of a liberal arts college with the resources of a major research university. All instruction is in English, and the student body represents over 25 different countries. As part of Yonsei University’s continuing effort to increase faculty diversity, we are only accepting applications from non-Korean citizens.

Interested applicants should send a short letter of application, a statement of teaching philosophy, dissertation abstract, and c.v. by email: (uic@yonsei.ac.kr).
