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.
