PhD student receives Korea Studies Institute Postdoctoral Fellowship
Ki-Young Sung, who recently took his viva, has received news that he has been awarded a Korea Studies Institute Postdoctoral Fellowship at the University of Southern California for this coming academic year.
This is an excellent achievement by Ki-Young. The Director of the Korean Studies Institute at USC is Prof David Kang, who is arguably one of the leading figures not just in the study of Korean Peninsula politics, but more widely in East Asian international relations. The competition was fierce, with candidates from across the US and internationally.
Ki-Young's research is on inter-Korean economic cooperation and the political implications of this for Korean Peninsula security. The fact that he has obtained this prestigious scholarship is a testament to the quality of his research, and also demonstrates the growing status of Warwick's PhD programme in the United States.
Many congratulations to Ki-Young.
