Division of Web Science & Technology (WebST) at Korea Advanced Institute of
Korea (KAIST) is seeking a visiting faculty member at the full or associate
professor level, who will receive a financial support from the World Class
University (WCU) Program. We are particularly interested in the fields of
social network analysis and mobile applications but will consider other
areas that fall under Web Science.
As a WCU professor, a successful candidate is expected to stay at KAIST for
one semester, either Fall, 2012, or Spring, 2013, with the salary ranging
between US$ 80,000 and 90,000 for four months plus moving expenses. The main
responsibilities are teaching one course and conducting research, preferably
with the existing faculty and students. A total of about US$ 50,000 will be
also provided for research expenses. This position is ideal for a qualified
university professor seeking a temporary position for a sabbatical leave,
but can be extended for a longer period or converted to a regular faculty
position, subject to an approval from the university.
A successful candidate should have an excellent track record of research
publications in prestigious journals and top conferences. Experiences in
journal editorship and program committees in highly reputable conferences
will be a plus. WebST Division is a new academic department at KAIST with
MS and Ph. D programs and receives a total of about US$2.5 million per year
for research from the WCU program. It is a member of Web Science Network of
Laboratories (WSTNet). Information about our Division and the WCU program
can be found in http://webst.kaist.ac.kr and http://wcu.nrf.go.kr,
respectively.
To apply for the position, please send e-mail with a CV including
publication records and educational and professional experiences to
myaeng at kaist.ac.kr or send a postal mail to:
Prof. Sung-Hyon Myaeng
Head, Division of Web Science & Technology
