Wed May 04 08:38:13 GMT 2022





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: https://www.nottingham.edu.cn/en/internationalcommunications/know-our-people/know-our-people.aspx <https://www.nottingham.edu.cn/en/internationalcommunications/know-our-people/know-our-people.aspx>).
