Description
The Kavli Institute for Astronomy and Astrophysics (KIAA) at Peking University invites applications for the Boya Fellowship, with a deadline of October 9. This call is distinct from the annual KIAA Fellowship advertisement, which has a deadline in mid-November. The start date is from the past 6 months (for postdocs already at PKU) through April 1. For the Boya Fellowship, only applications with support from a faculty member will be evaluated. All applicants should fill out the .docx file at the bottom of this page: https://postdocs.pku.edu.cn/tzgg/2e9bafdf459d48f392a79959aa6aa1ad.htm Non-Chinese applicants can fill out the English-language document at the bottom of this page: https://postdocs.pku.edu.cn/tzgg/23e7ff5c7223496eb014f454d49c43db.htm Applicants must provide three letters, to be uploaded here. One letter must be from the PhD supervisor, who should specifically address the applicant's academic integrity along with a standard letter. One letter must be from the prospective postdoctoral supervisor at PKU (KIAA or Department of Astronom), which outlines the applicant’s academic background, research potential and achievements, and comprehensive qualifications, detailed information on the added value for the research project and a clear statement of commitment regarding the physical and intellectual research support that the supervisor will provide to the applicant. Applications without these letters of support cannot be evaluated. In addition to those forms and reference letters (in English or Chinese), we request a cover letter, CV, and publication list in English. The research statement (English or Chinese) should be a few pages and included in the Boya form linked above. The hard deadline for applications is 2025 October 9.
