[Commlist] Call for Visiting Scholars at the School of International Communications, University of Nottingham Ningbo China

The School of International Communications at the University of 
Nottingham Ningbo China (UNNC) invites applications for our Visiting 
Scholars program.

There are two Visiting Scholar positions, for which UNNC covers 
transportation, accommodation, and a research stipend.

The Visiting Scholar residency is 2-3 months in duration (exact date 
range chosen by the Scholar), and can be held during Semester 1 (October 
– December 2023), or Semester 2 (March - June 2024).

Visiting Scholars 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 of International Communications (IC). 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.

Visiting scholars 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 program. 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 but is not limited to media and communication studies, 
journalism, cultural studies, film and television studies, game studies, 
and digital media.
