The Department of Art History, University of California, Los Angeles, invites applications for an assistant professor (tenure-track) or associate professor (with tenure) specializing in Korean art history, to start July 1, 2025. Korean art history has a long and distinctive tradition at UCLA, with initial support from the Korea Foundation, and interdisciplinary links to the Center for Korean Studies and the Program in Korean Humanities. We seek a critically-engaged scholar whose work emphasizes methodological innovation as well as connections between Korea and other geo-cultural areas, and who is interested in cross-field collaboration within the Department and the university. Ph.D. in hand at time of appointment is required. We especially welcome candidates whose experience in teaching, research, or community service has prepared them to contribute to our commitment to diversity and excellence.

Please submit letter of interest, curriculum vitae, sample publication, EDI statement, reference check authorization release form, and names and contact information for three referees at https://recruit.apo.ucla.edu/JPF09754. For more information, contact Prof. Kristopher Kersey (kersey@humnet.ucla.edu), Chair of the Search Committee. Application deadline: November 15, 2024.

The posted UC salary scales (https://www.ucop.edu/academic-personnel-programs/compensation/index.html) set the minimum pay determined by rank and/or step at appointment. See Table 1. The salary range for this position is from $78,200 (Assistant Professor I) to $121,600 (Associate Professor V). “Off-scale salaries” and other components of pay, i.e., a salary that is higher than the published system-wide salary at the designated rank and step, are offered when necessary to meet competitive conditions. See campus compensation page for additional information.

The University of California is committed to creating and maintaining a community dedicated to the advancement, application, and transmission of knowledge and creative endeavors through academic excellence, where all individuals who participate in University programs and activities can work and learn together in a safe and secure environment, free of violence, harassment, bullying and other demeaning behavior, discrimination, exploitation, or intimidation. With this commitment as well as a commitment to addressing all forms of academic misconduct, UCLA conducts targeted employment reference checks for finalists to whom departments or other hiring units would like to extend formal offers of appointment into Academic Senate faculty positions. The targeted employment reference checks involve contacting the finalists’ current and prior places of employment to ask whether there have been substantiated findings of misconduct that would violate the University’s Faculty Code of Conduct. To implement this process, UCLA requires all applicants for Academic Senate faculty positions to complete, sign, and upload the form entitled “Authorization to Release Information” into RECRUIT as part of their application. If the applicant does not include the signed authorization to release information with the application materials, the application will be considered incomplete. As with any incomplete application, the application will not receive further consideration. Although all applicants for faculty recruitments must complete the entire application, only finalists (i.e., those to whom the department or other hiring unit would like to extend a formal offer) considered for Academic Senate faculty positions will be subject to targeted employment reference checks.
