The Tang Visiting Scholar's Fellowship, administered by the Tang Center for Early China at Columbia University, is a singular opportunity for one scholar to pursue a sustained research project in early China over a 10-month residency. The fellowship is designed for non-US-based scholars, with a stated preference for those from East Asia, and requires applicants to hold a PhD or possess outstanding research credentials. The selected fellow will be affiliated with Columbia University, gaining access to its libraries, faculty, and intellectual community, while engaging with the Center's mission to advance the study of early China across disciplines. The fellowship provides funds that may be used for airfare, living expenses, and fees incurred during the residency, as well as a modest travel fund for visits to other US cities or institutions. While the fellowship does not carry a teaching requirement, the successful candidate may be invited to teach short-term courses or seminars, which would be compensated with a supplemental adjunct salary. This structure allows the fellow to focus primarily on research while remaining open to pedagogical engagement. The Tang Center's curatorial vision is to foster deep, textually and materially grounded scholarship on early China. The fellowship is not project-specific in theme, but proposals must relate to early China—a broad field encompassing history, archaeology, literature, philosophy, art, and religion of the period. The Center seeks scholars whose work demonstrates rigor, originality, and a capacity to contribute to the broader academic community at Columbia. This is a residency for a scholar at a mature stage of research, one who will benefit from the resources and collegiality of a major research university.
