Summer Graduate Seminar in Korean Studies at Seoul National University

The Center for Korean Studies is pleased to announce its first annual graduate student seminar to be held at Seoul National University (SNU). Approximately five continuing UC Berkeley graduate students with a research focus on Korea will be selected to travel to Korea where they will give presentations and receive feedback from faculty and fellow graduate students at SNU. This opportunity is possible thanks to generous support from the Academy of Korean Studies, and aims to nurture young scholars with interests in Korean studies, and promote ties between UC Berkeley and Korean universities.

Date and Location: Two days in mid to late June (likely June 14-15) at Seoul National University

Support: Participants will receive a stipend of $2,000 to cover round trip airfare, meals and hotel costs.

Applicants should submit the following materials as a single PDF document by email to Dylan Davis at the Center for Korean Studies, (cks@berkeley.edu) by Monday, April 1, 2013.

1.       Application Cover Sheet PDF format
2.       A current curriculum vitae
3.       A detailed research/study proposal. Note: Research focus should primarily involve Korea (max. 2 pages)

5.       A complete list of all support including the amount of fund requested for the coming academic year, with notes on the status of the requests
6.       Two letters of recommendation, emailed separately to CKS (cks@berkeley.edu).
