Applications
are invited from outstanding candidates for a four-year postdoctoral position
in 17th and/or 18th century Korean history as part of the European Research
Council funded project (H2020-ERC CoG 758347), Aftermath of the East Asian War
of 1592-1598, led by ICREA Professor Rebekah Clements and hosted by the
Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. The successful candidate must be willing to
work on the environmental, economic, and/or demographic aftermath of the Imjin War
in Korea (preferably focusing on the 17th and/or 18th century) and to develop
independent research within the context of the Aftermath project. Applications

within a regional context, borderlands, or who work on another East Asian
country in addition to Korea. The main language of the project is English and
candidates are not required to speak Spanish or Catalan. However, the
successful candidate will be encouraged to acquire a basic competence in one of
these languages during their tenure so as to be able to participate in locally
organized events.
