Job Description:
Please see Special Instructions for more details. Application
Deadline: February 15, 2021 Position Title School Faculty of Arts
and Sciences Department/Area Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies
Position Description The Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies ( FCCS
) at Harvard University is pleased to announce the 2021-2022
competition for the An Wang Postdoctoral Fellowships in Chinese
Studies. This year the Fairbank Center is offering two fellowships
to support postdoctoral participants in an interdisciplinary
research group that will focus on Meaningful Ageing and End of Life
in China: A Multidisciplinary US-China Collaboration. This research
group will be led by Professors Winnie Yip (T.H. Chan School of
Public Health) and Arthur Kleinman (Faculty of Arts and Sciences;
Harvard Medical School). The primary objective of this research
group is to conduct in-depth study and analyses in order to
understand what constitutes a meaningful life for older people in
China and what policies and actions can be designed to advance that
objective. The group will take an inter-disciplinary and
comparative approach, drawing on experiences and lessons from other
relevant countries. Examples of questions to be examined include:
What does purpose/meaning-driven aging mean and how does it
manifest in the context of Chinese culture, ethics and social
values? What kind of care system should policymakers be considering
(e.g., palliative care, other forms of end of life care) in
integrating medical care with socially and culturally meaningful
support? What is the role of social technology in communicating and
intervening in the perceived worth of elders experiences of living?
What is the role of the government versus the market in financing
and delivering an eldercare system that suits the preferences of
the Chinese elderly? How do we guide urban planning and housing
policies so as to enhance social and cultural values in a physical
environment for elders who reside either in institutions or
residences? As part of the group, fellows' primary responsibility
will be to conduct their proposed research project under the
mentorship of Profs. Yip and Kleinman. Using the balance of their
available time, they will have the opportunity to participate in a
range of activities to be decided upon by the group, but which may
include presentation in seminars, contribution to a white paper
summarizing the group's analyses and policy recommendations for
ageing in China, or other interdisciplinary engagements and
collaborations with the scholarly community at Harvard. Total
stipend for An Wang Postdoctoral Fellows: $60,000 Health insurance
benefits and $3000 for scholarly activities will also be provided
to each fellow. In addition, there are potential funding
opportunities for presentation in international conference and a
research trip to China. Basic Qualifications Applicants must have
completed all Ph.D. requirements (dissertation completed and filed)
