I am a political scientist studying civil-military relations, democratic backsliding, and Korean & East Asian politics.
I am on the academic job market during the 2026-27 academic year.
To fulfill the military service duty as a South Korean male citizen while working on my dissertation project, I am working as a lecturer of military history (first lieutenant) at Korea Army Academy from June 2024 to May 2027. I am particularly excited about this valuable opportunity to improve my teaching skills and also conduct fieldwork in the country of my academic interest.
