Postdoc fellowship programs for the one who has obtained his/her PhD in China. 1)博雅博士后项目(每年1月10日-3月20日以及9月1日-10月15日提交申请材料)https://postdocs.pku.edu.cn/tzgg/109250.htm 2)博士后创新人才支持计划
Boya postdoc fellowship program for international postdocs. [ Application periods: January 10 to March 20 (Round 1); September 1 to October 15 (Round 2) ]
Peking University also offers the BMS Junior Fellowship for both domestic and international postdocs. The application deadlines are slightly later than those of the Boya postdoc fellowship every year.
Please visit the link for the application procedure for international graduate students. The deadline is often at the end of November each year.
Peking University offers fellowships for international graduate students. It is required that the applicant should have a master degree before he/she is admitted for the PhD program in the College of Chemistry and Molecular Engineering.
