Job Description: The Department of Asian and Asian American Studies in the Harpur College of Arts and Sciences at Binghamton University (SUNY) invites applications for a tenure-track position in Korea/Diaspora Studies at the rank of Assistant Professor. We seek candidates with expertise in the humanities who employ critical and interdisciplinary approaches to the study of Korean cultural forms, expression, and/or practices, broadly defined, as they circulate and relate to national, diasporic, or emergent communities. We are particularly interested in scholars who explore media forms and representation - such as literature, film, food, music, and digital communication - in relation to social, political, and economic change: migration, race, and gender formation. Also welcome is experience in the digital humanities and community engagement, which align with department and campus initiatives. Applicants should demonstrate proficiency in language(s) relevant to their research.

The ability to promote and develop the department's broader intellectual and programmatic vision of transregional, transoceanic, and global studies of Asia is preferred. The candidate is expected to teach at the undergraduate and graduate level, and contribute to the vibrancy of the faculty and student community within and beyond the department.

We encourage applications from individuals of all backgrounds and experiences.

Requirements: Required

• A PhD in a relevant humanities or cultural studies field by August 1, 2026.
• Scholarship demonstrates critical and interdisciplinary approaches to Korean/diasporic cultural forms, expressions, and practices
• Proficiency in language(s) relevant to their research.
