The Schwarzman Scholars Program is recruiting Postdoctoral Teaching Fellows (PTF) for the 2022-2023 academic year, to be based at Schwarzman College at Tsinghua University, Beijing China.

ABOUT THE ORGANIZATION

Designed to inspire the next generation of global leaders, the Schwarzman Scholars program is the most significant of its kind since the Rhodes Trust was founded in 1902. With nearly $600 million raised so far, it is also the single largest philanthropic effort ever undertaken in China by largely international donors.

The 100-200 Scholars chosen annually for this highly selective program work towards a one-year Master’s Degree in Global Affairs at Tsinghua University in Beijing — one of China’s most prestigious universities. As individuals who want to have a positive impact on the world, Schwarzman Scholars are selected based on their academic credentials, extracurricular interests and leadership potential.
