Postdoctoral Fellows

The Center for East Asian Studies currently offers competitive year-long postdoctoral fellowships in Chinese studies without restriction on discipline or time period. In addition to participating in the daily intellectual life of the Center, fellows teach at least one course during their appointment at Stanford, and may also organize lectures and workshops. Former CEAS postdoctoral fellows have gone on to teach at some of the leading institutions of higher education in the country. Applications are due each January for the following academic year. Visit the Chinese Studies Postdoctoral Fellowship page for more information.
