\nConnecting top science and technology talent with Korea\u2019s premier research hubs \u2014 KAIST, GIST, DGIST, UNIST<\/i><\/p><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a>

\nAs a global leader in science and technology, Korea invites outstanding postdoctoral researchers (Post-docs) to co-design the future of strategic technologies at the forefront of S&T<\/i><\/p>

LONDON & MUNICH & ZURICH--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#CareerInKorea<\/a>--The Korean Ministry of Science and ICT (MSIT)<\/a> will host the 2026 InnoCORE Global Postdoctoral Job Fair<\/a> in June with upcoming programs in London, Munich, and Zurich. This follows the successful launch of the initiative in New York, Boston, and Silicon Valley in May 2026.<\/p>

\nOrganized by the MSIT together with KAIST, GIST, DGIST, and UNIST, the job fair will connect outstanding global postdoctoral researchers with leading Korean industries and research institutions.<\/p>

\nThe InnoCORE Postdoctoral Fellowship Program, launched in 2025, is a government-backed initiative to recruit outstanding early-career researchers from around the world in AI-convergent science and technology (AI+S&T). Following a strong reception in 2025\u2014with over 100 postdoctoral researchers interviewed across three U.S. cities\u2014the program is being significantly expanded in 2026, scaling up from an initial cohort of 400 to approximately 1,000 postdoctoral researchers. This year\u2019s job fair series aims to further strengthen Korea\u2019s global talent pipeline and deepen partnerships with leading academic and research institutions worldwide.<\/p>

\nBuilding on 2025: Key Milestones<\/b><\/p>

\nSince its launch in June 2025, the InnoCORE program has made significant strides in establishing Korea as a competitive destination for global research talent. Through overseas job fairs and recruitment campaigns led by the four institutes, 400 postdoctoral researchers were selected in the program\u2019s inaugural year. Each fellow receives an annual base salary of KRW 90 million (approx. USD 62,000) plus KRW 60 million in dedicated research funding - roughly double the average compensation for postdoctoral researchers in Korea\u2014reflecting the government\u2019s commitment to attracting top-tier talent.<\/p>

\nLooking ahead, the Korean government is significantly expanding the InnoCORE program in 2026. The scope of recruitment has broadened from AI and AI-convergent fields to all National Strategic Technology domains\u2014including semiconductors & displays, next-generation batteries, advanced mobility, nuclear energy, advanced bio, space & aerospace, hydrogen, cybersecurity, AI, next-generation communications, advanced robotics & manufacturing, and quantum technology. The program is also being extended beyond the four institutes to include government-funded research institutions (GRIs) and universities.<\/p>

\n2026 InnoCORE Global Job Fairs<\/b><\/p>

\nThe 2026 InnoCORE Global Postdoctoral Job Fair will continue in June in London, Munich, and Zurich. Each event will feature InnoCORE program briefings, research cluster presentations, and on-site interviews directly with Korean research group leaders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
