Full Text of JOE Listing:
The China Initiative of the Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs aspires to promote a just and peaceful world through research, teaching, and public engagement. Central to this mission is the China Initiative’s new postdoctoral fellows program, an effort to galvanize the careers of young social scientists conducting research on issues of development, governance, and security involving contemporary China.
Participants in this program will join the Watson Institute's interdisciplinary community of scholars engaged in theoretically and substantively important research addressing the most pressing global issues of our time. China Initiative fellows will receive two years of support, with the expectation that they will pursue research and participate fully in the intellectual life of the Institute. Fellows will also teach one course per year in the Institute or in an affiliated Brown University social science department. The Watson Institute China Initiative is especially interested in qualified candidates who can contribute, through their research, teaching, and/or service, to the diversity and excellence of the academic community.
