KIST Postdoctoral Research Associateship Program
KIST (Korea Institute of Science and Technology)
KIST was established in 1966 as the premier multi-disciplinary research institute in Korea. Its main goal is to lead Korea’s science and technology infrastructure in the research, development, and transfer of creative, original technologies. The main campus is located in Seoul with branch campuses in Gangneung and Jeonbuk. The third campus, KIST Europe, is located in Saarbruecken, Germany to facilitate collaboration with the European community. KIST is now on a course to become a world-renowned research institute where dreams are made and realized through the combination of science and technology on one side and entrepreneurship on the other.
