The School of Humanities and Social Sciences in the College of Liberal Arts and Convergence Science at KAIST (Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology) invites applications for four tenure-track positions in the areas of (1) Sociology, (2) Communication, (3) TESOL/Applied Linguistics (possible to manage an EFL program), and (4) Environmental Studies (limited to Social Sciences only).

We are particularly interested in junior scholars of outstanding promise, who are interested in developing interdisciplinary research programs as an adjunct professor at other departments.  A successful candidate will have a doctorate in his/her relevant discipline and will also be able to provide evidence of outstanding research and excellence in teaching.

Positions will begin in March 2020.
