The Schwarzman Scholars Program is recruiting postdoctoral teaching fellows for the 2021-2022 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 a nearly $600 million endowment, it will also be 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.
