SUBMISSION OF APPLICATIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
FEBRUARY 21 to MARCH 31, 2014

   In an effort to shed light upon Korean Studies, the National Museum of Korea offers its third annual fellowship entitled the NMK 2014 Museum Network Fellowship. The program, initiated in 2012, is designed to promote the advancement of museum related Korean studies overseas.

   Given the program’s purpose, applicants must not be Korean citizens. Thus candidates should not hold any relevant previous, concurrent and subsequent fellowships or academic research positions in Korea. Desirable candidates are doctoral students and post-doctoral researchers – in case, Master’s students might be considered- in the fields of museum related Korean studies. Candidates who are not focused on Korean studies will still be considered if their specialties pertain to Far East Asia. This is a bilingual program in which proficiency in English is required and fluency in Korean is also a plus for participation. Recipients will be required to submit their final research papers by October 31, 2014.
   The 2014 participants will be brought together to our museum in Seoul, allowing us to build up our museum network for future museum generations and to enhance the quality of their research.

   The program will provide participants with valuable opportunities to gain field experience in Korean culture through comprehensive lectures on museum related Korean studies, workshops, research and site visits around the country.
