Applicants need to have a PI at AS to sponsor their applications. A PI may sponsor as many Postdoctoral Scholars as he or she wishes. However, each project is limited to one applicant only.
Under this program, there are two types of fellows: Academia Sinica Postdoctoral Scholars (Distinguished) and Postdoctoral Scholars (Regular). Applicants with a PhD degree conferred after the January of 2016 or 2014 are eligible to be the candidates of Academia Sinica Postdoctoral Scholars (Distinguished) or Postdoctoral Scholars (Regular) respectively. Applicants excepting that who are applying for the position of Postdoctoral Scholar at the Division of Humanities and Social Sciences need to choose the type of fellows. Two types of fellows must be ticked if applicants intend to apply for both.
If an applicant has not yet received the doctoral degree, the applicant’s doctoral advisor must provide a letter confirming that the applicant is expected to receive the PhD diploma before the appointment starts. In addition, three letters of recommendation must be received by DAAIS before the deadline.
When applying for the position of Postdoctoral Scholars at the Division of Humanities and Social Sciences or the position of Academia Sinica Postdoctoral Scholars (Distinguished), applicants are required to submit a proposal specifying the aim, significance, background, methodology and anticipated accomplishment of their research projects. Application proposals lacking consideration of these factors will be adversely affected.
During the term of appointment, the Postdoctoral Scholar shall comply with the service regulations stipulated by the Academia Sinica Personnel Office (please refer to http://hro.sinica.edu.tw/cbemployee/cbemployee.html) and also the requirements and instructions of his/her sponsoring principal investigator and host institute.
