The University of Sydney (USyd) is inviting application to the 2020 Sydney China Visitors Program which supports faculty members to build/strengthen their collaboration with USyd.

The Sydney China Visitors Program offers two types of fellowship:

• Sydney China Fellowship hosts scholars at any stage of their career specialising in any field, historical or contemporary, related broadly to China or the Chinese world (including, for example, Hong Kong, Taiwan, overseas Chinese, ‘minorities’, as well as comparative or global perspectives).

Fellowship recipients will carry out their research in USyd for 4–12 weeks, between February and November 2020, collaborating with academic members at USyd’s Department of Chinese Studies and China Studies Centre.

This fellowship will provide visiting fellows with return airfare, a stipend, office space and library borrowing privileges, as well as access to USyd’s facilities and events.
