The China in Europe Research Network (CHERN) has released their call for applications for 2020.

Each year the network issues calls for applications (what they refer to as ‘Short Term Scientific Missions’ (STSMs)) across its five working groups, for a PhD student or Postdoc to visit another institution and work with a member of the network for several weeks on a piece of research.

Dr Nick Jepson of the Global Development Institute at the University of Manchester is leading one such working group on finance and is keen for high quality applications from candidates interested in visiting the GDI to work on a grant proposal, the focus of which would be on Chinese loans to European Countries. The duration is expected to be for around 3 weeks in September/October 2020. Full details can be found on the GDI’s website.
