Description

Established in April 2003, and reinstated in May 2017, the Distinguished Scholar Award at Yonsei University aims to enhance relations between the peoples of the Republic of Korea and the United States of America, to promote internationalization of Korean higher education, and to increase cooperation for the improvement of education and research at Korean universities. Distinguished Scholars are sought in all academic disciplines, with awards available for one or two academic semesters (four or 10 months, respectively). Distinguished Scholars are anticipated to participate in the research and academic life of the department in which they are placed, while teaching one course (graduate or undergraduate) each semester of residence. The course for each semester, which will include approximately three hours of in-class instruction per week, will be selected in consultation with the appropriate department at Yonsei University. Applicants must be full professors with tenure at the time of application. An invitation letter is preferred. There are no language proficiency requirements, English is sufficient. However, feasibility of conducting the project must be demonstrated in the project statement. All applicants must submit two recommendation letters. Letters should be from those who know the applicant and the applicant's work well.
