The School of Contemporary Chinese Studies (SCCS), the University of 
Nottingham, wishes to sponsor one or more early career researchers 
(within 3 years of PhD award) to apply for a British Academy 
Postdoctoral Fellowship. We wish to support those with a research 
interest in Chinese economic and business history, or international 
business and management, or Chinese economics. The Academy's scheme 
is designed to enable outstanding early career researchers to 
strengthen their experience of teaching and research in a university 
environment during the three year fellowship.

interest in one of the following fields, which are strengths of 
several members of staff.

modern firm and the transfer of management knowledge and 
organisational practices to China.

* International business and management in China, with a specific 
focus on one or more subfields of foreign direct investment, the 
multinational firm, strategy, human resources, and marketing.

* Chinese economics, focused on one or more subfields of economic
