The Department of Sociology and Criminology at the University at Buffalo (UB), SUNY, invites applications for the Korea Foundation Professor of Korean Studies, a position established by a generous gift from the Korea Foundation. The Department seeks a scholar who may be appointed at the rank of Professor (tenure pending), Associate Professor (tenure pending), or a tenure-track Assistant Professor, beginning in the Fall 2025 term. The successful candidate will focus on Korea as the primary subject of their research and teaching. This position is part of an exciting expansion of Korean studies at the University at Buffalo that will launch in Spring 2025 as the Korean Studies Program within UB’s Asia Research Institute. The Korean Studies Program is being developed with funding from the Korea Foundation and Academy of Korean Studies, among others, which provides support for research, teaching, exchange, and cultural activities for UB faculty and students. The program builds on, and in turn further generates, student enthusiasm for Korean popular culture to deepen the understanding of Korean history, society, and culture. The successful candidate will expand the instructional curriculum in the Department, teaching undergraduate and graduate courses, and mentoring graduate students. The successful candidate’s research about Korea will broadly connect to at least one of the Department’s areas of specialization which includes Crime, Law, and Social Policy; Family and the Life Course; Health and Illness; Social Inequalities; Urban, Community, and the Environment; and Work, Labor, and Political Economy. Faculty are expected to maintain an active research agenda and to provide service to the Department, University, and the discipline. Applicants must show strong potential for publications, and if applicable, for external grant funding. Underrepresented scholars are strongly encouraged to apply. Outstanding Benefits Package
Working at UB comes with benefits that exceed salary alone. There are personal rewards including comprehensive health and retirement plan options. We also focus on creating and sustaining a healthy mix of work, personal and academic pursuit - all in an effort to support your work-life effectiveness. We support your growth and development through our career coaching and training department and we qualify as a public service loan forgiveness organization. Learn more about our benefit packages.

In addition to the Korean Studies Program, close ties with faculty in the Schools of Law, Public Health, Management, Nursing, Architecture and Planning, Engineering, and Social Work facilitate cross-disciplinary research. Interdisciplinary campus entities, such as the Baldy Center for Law and Social Policy and the Research and Education in eNergy, Environment, and Water Institute (RENEW), offer additional opportunities for research collaborations.
