The Chinese Academy of Sciences invites applications for its president's international fellowship initiative for visiting scientists. This enables leading international scientists to carry out cooperative projects at CAS-affiliated institutions for one to 12 months. The aim is to create or strengthen partnerships between CAS host institutions and the recipients’ home institutions.

Applicants must have:

•an academic title of at least assistant professor or equivalent;

•a record of outstanding scientific accomplishment;

•five years’ work experience in a well-known university, research institution or multinational corporation;

•a collaborative research proposal prepared in cooperation with the CAS host institution.

The fellowship provides a monthly stipend to cover living expenses, health insurance in China and economy-class round-trip international travel. Monthly stipends are worth CNY 40,000 for full professors or equivalent, CNY 30,000 for associate professors or equivalent and CNY 20,000 for assistant professors or equivalent.
