2021 Second Session of Postdoctoral Scholar Program Is Open for Applications from now to February 21, 2021

Applications for Postdoctoral Scholars at Academia Sinica for the Second Session of 2021 are now being accepted starting from now. All applications must be submitted to the Department of Academic Affairs and Instrument Service (DAAIS) by March 2.

The Institute of Political Science at Academia Sinica (IPSAS) has to reserve times for the applicant’s Sponsoring Mentor to process with the online applications, therefore, bring the deadline forward to February 21, 2021.

Applicants need to find a Sponsoring Mentor at IPSAS to sponsor their applications before they get started. A Sponsoring Mentor may sponsor as many Postdoctoral Scholars as he or she wishes. However, each project is limited to one applicant only. All applications are to be processed on-line (http://db3n2u.sinica.edu.tw/~textdb/program ). It is not necessary to send hard copies of application materials.

Applicants need to send the application to the Sponsoring Mentor by clicking “Confirm” before February 21. The Sponsoring Mentor must be submitted to the Department of Academic Affairs and Instrument Service (DAAIS) before March 2, 2021.
