The CES will consider applications from both members and non-members. Priority will be given to members, other things being equal.

(2) A complete application for the teaching fellowship should include the following:
(i) A letter of application, including the course title, the teaching schedule including the number of contact hours, and the name of the host university where the applicant would like to teach the proposed course; whether the applicant has applied for the fellowship previously and whether the prior application was successful.
(ii) A syllabus that includes the content of the course, textbook(s), references, the arrangement of examinations, and the schedule of the lectures.
(iii) A copy of the applicant’s abbreviated curriculum vitae (2-3 pages).
(iv) A copy of the letter of invitation from the host institute, signed by a department head or a dean at the host university.
(3) The initial application (including items (i), (ii), and (iii) above) should be sent to Professor Yongmiao Hong, President of the CES at email CES2010@xmu.edu.cn. The invitation letter, item (iv), can be scanned and emailed separately. The deadline for complete application is February 1, 2010 and decisions will be made by March 1, 2010.

3. Selection of Awardees
(1) The CES teaching committee will review all applications, select awardees, and notify all applicants of its decisions.
(2) The selection of awardees of the teaching fellowships will be based on the following considerations:
(i) The applicant’s qualifications;
(ii) Broad participation by Chinese universities, scholars, and students;
(iii) The need of modern economics and management education in China.

4. Financial Award
(1) A successful applicant will be awarded a lump-sum stipend of US$2,500. The award will be paid after the awardee completes his/her teaching in China and submits the instructor’s final report.
(2) An awardee may obtain additional compensation from the host university for the expenses in China. However, the CES will not be responsible for these arrangements.
(3) Should an awardee obtain from other sources financial support that goes beyond compensation for living and travel expenses, the CES may withdraw or reduce the stipend. The awardee should notify CES of such financial support as soon as he/she has accepted it. Applying for funding from other sources, however, will not affect the selection of the awardees. The purpose of this clause is to optimize the use of limited resources to fund more economists who wish to teach in China.
