Nottingham Ningbo China (UNNC) invites applications for our Visiting 
Scholars programme. This position includes transportation, 
accommodation, and a research stipend. The Visiting Scholar residency is 
2-3 months in duration (exact date range chosen by the Scholar), and 
there are two positions: the first will be held during Semester 1 (Oct. 
1, 2021 – Jan. 15, 2022), and the second will be held Semester 2 (March 
1, 2022 – June 30, 2022). (See:

are currently residing in China and do not need a visa. *People who are 
currently employed by another institution will need a consent letter

The aim of this award is to foster research collaboration with members

their research and collaborate with one or more members of IC staff on a 
research project (proposed by the Visiting Scholar) that will result in 
a publication and/or a grant application. They will also deliver one 
lecture for our School’s UG and PG students and will give one 
presentation to the wider University on their research as part of our 
Invited Speakers programme. There are no further teaching or 
administrative responsibilities.

The award is competitive, and will be based on the proposed research 
proposal and the applicant’s CV. Applicants should have already been 
awarded their PhD degrees and have expertise relevant to IC, which 
includes media and communication studies, cultural studies, film and 
television studies, game studies, etc. (see:
