Post-doctoral Fellowship Program

An Wang Fellowship

The An Wang Post-doctoral Fellowship supports research in Chinese Studies. Well-designed projects at any stage, from initial research to revision for publication, are welcome. Priority will be given to those candidates who have had no previous post-doctoral fellowships. Those who have received their Ph.D. from Harvard University are normally not considered for this fellowship. Fellows will be expected to be resident at the Center during their Fellowship and will possibly be asked to teach or to mentor students. Complete information and application.

Undergraduate and Graduate Grants

Shum Fellowship

A generous grant from Desmond Shum will enable two Harvard graduate students to spend a year studying in China. These students, who will be studying in the fields of the contemporary Chinese social sciences, will receive a grant of $20,000 each. Students will apply to the Fairbank Center and will be selected through a competitive application process, with award decisions made by a committee of faculty associated with the Fairbank Center. The winning students will be known as the Desmond and Whitney Shum Fellows. For complete information and application instructions, click here.

See the Asia Center site for a listing of other Asia-related grants at Harvard, including those offered by the Fairbank Center. For many of the funds listed, you must submit a common application, available at the Office of Career Services, 54 Dunster Street or online.
