Welcome to my personal website!

My first name is Yu Bin, and my last name is Kim. Yes, I don't have a middle name. You can just call me Paul as well. (Note that it's my Catholic, baptismal name.)

Currently, I'm an Assistant Professor of Political Science and International Relations at Knox College, which is located in Galesburg, IL. During AY 2024-2025, I was a Civil War Paths Fellow at the University of York.

My research and teaching interests include both interstate and intrastate conflicts. At the interstate level, I focus on nuclear proliferation and latency. At the intrastate level, my focus is on conflict management and United Nations peacekeeping operations. I'm also interested in how rebel groups survive during wartime, particularly through their governing and diplomatic efforts.

​I hold a Ph.D. in Political Science from the University of Missouri, an M.A. in East Asian Studies from Stanford University, and a B.A. in Asian Studies, International Studies, and Political Science from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

My full CV is available here.​
