Postdoctoral Position, Brown University

[Kerry Smith]

I realize this isn't a perfect fit for this list, but given that we will consider other disciplinary approaches.....

Postdoctoral Fellowship/Empire and Culture in East Asia
The Cogut Center for the Humanities at Brown University and the Department of East Asian Studies invite applications for a two-year post-doctoral appointment in the study of empire and culture in East Asia. In the Cogut Center, the candidate will participate in the Center's bi-weekly seminar on the theme of the humanities and the transnational university, and in the Center's regular Fellows' Seminar. Priority will be given to cultural anthropologists whose primary area of research and teaching include the impact and/or legacies of empire, broadly defined,  in modern China,  Japan or Korea,   although other disciplinary approaches and areas will be considered.  Applicants should have received their doctorate, from an institution other than Brown University, within the last five years.  Applicants from outside North America are strongly encouraged to apply.

The two-year appointment will begin July 1, 2007, or as soon as possible thereafter.  Ph.D or equivalent is required by the time of appointment. Interested candidates should send a letter of application, c.v., a dissertation or book abstract, course proposals, and three letters of reference to:  Kerry Smith,  Chair, Department of East Asian Studies, Box 1850, Brown University, Providence, RI 02912. Review of applications will begin February 16, 2007 and will continue until the position is filled. Brown University is an AA/EOE. Women and minorities are encouraged to apply.
