[Commlist] Call for Visiting Scholars - University of Nottingham Ningbo China

Call for Visiting Scholars


The School of International Communications at the University of 
Nottingham Ningbo China (UNNC) invites applications for our Visiting 
Scholars programme. There are two Visiting Scholar positions:

1.The first is an in-person Visiting Scholar, and the position includes 
transportation, accommodation, and a research stipend. *(Please note 
that, due to present Covid-19 travel restrictions, we will only accept 
applications from domestic or international candidates who are currently 
residing in China and do not need a visa for this position). *

2.The second is a virtual Visiting Scholar, who will not travel to 
China, and the position includes a research stipend.

For both positions, the Visiting Scholar residency is 2-3 months in 
duration (exact date range chosen by the Scholar), and can be held 
during Semester 1 (Oct. 1, 2022 – Jan. 15, 2023), or Semester 2 (March 
1, 2023 – June 30, 2023). People who are currently employed by another 
institution will need a consent letter from their current employer if 
they will be based at UNNC for more than a week or will visit multiple 
times.

The aim of this award is to foster research collaboration with members 
of staff in the School. During the residency, the scholar will undertake 
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:
