If you study Chinese politics and plan to be on the market in Fall 2024, please consider applying for the 2024 New Faces in Chinese Politics Conference at Harvard on September 27-28, 2024. Application materials due by April 30, 2024. More details below:
Scholars in Chinese politics at seven universities have formed a Consortium on New Faces in Chinese Politics and rotated organizing New Faces in Chinese Politics conferences at their home institutions, with the first conference at Duke University in 2021, the second at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2022, and the third at the University of Pennsylvania in 2023. The goal of these conferences is to encourage young scholars conducting cutting-edge research by offering them an opportunity to workshop their research and job talk on Chinese politics with peers, conference co-organizers, and invited senior scholars.
We invite advanced PhD students and post-doctoral fellows who study Chinese domestic and international politics to apply to present their job market paper, based on original, rigorous research, employing quantitative or qualitative methods or both, at the fourth New Faces in Chinese Politics Conference at Harvard on September 27-28, 2024. This year’s in-person conference is open exclusively to job market candidates for the 2024 job market. Successful applicants are fully funded for travel, lodging, and food.
Applicants must submit a curriculum vitae, full job market paper, and a letter of support from the dissertation committee chair. Application materials are due by April 30 by email attachment to newfaceschina2024@gmail.com. Letter of support should be emailed separately to that address and should endorse the applicant’s decision to be on the job market in 2024, with the subject heading including the full name of the applicant.
Excepting conflicts of interest, the seven co-organizers together constitute the selection committee. Applicants will be notified by the end of May of decision on selection.
