2023-2024 An Wang Postdoctoral Fellowships
The Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies at Harvard University is pleased to announce the 2023-2024 competition for the An Wang Postdoctoral Fellowships in Chinese Studies. Two fellowship positions are available.
Applications from all academic disciplines are welcome for the 2023-24 application cycle. There is no specific topical theme within Chinese studies. Research topics may cover contemporary China or focus on any historical period. During the one-year fellowship, each fellow will be expected to pursue their own research, be in residence in the Cambridge/Boston area, and contribute to Fairbank Center programs. Priority will be given to candidates working in the humanities or social sciences; however, we also welcome applications from scholars in other fields. Priority will be given to applicants who are planning to work with specific Harvard faculty members.
The one-year fellowship period is from August 1, 2023, to July 31, 2024. Fellows are expected to reside in the Greater Boston area for the duration of the fellowship.
Total stipend for An Wang Postdoctoral Fellow: $62,500
In addition to a health insurance benefits package, $3000 in research funding for scholarly activities will also be provided to each fellow.
Application deadline: January 17, 2023

A strong working knowledge of Chinese and English is required. A doctoral degree is required by one month prior to the start of the fellowship.

Applicants may not be more than five years beyond the receipt of their PhD degree at the start of the fellowship. Harvard University doctoral degree recipients are not eligible for this fellowship.
