The UM Macao Fellow Program is now open for applications
The University of Macau’s UM Macao Fellow Program is now open for applications. This program aims to nurture young scholars from Macao and encourage qualified local talent to pursue career development in Macao. Permanent Macao residents with a master’s or PhD degree from a reputable university are welcome to join UM through this program. Since its commencement in 2015, the university has recruited 13 young scholars through this scheme upon a rigorous selection process.
The UM Macao Fellow Program offers a three-year contract to successful applicants, who will have the opportunity to seek visiting appointment at reputable universities or institutions outside Macao as scholars or researchers. This allows them to enrich their teaching and research experience, broaden their horizons, and enhance their professional knowledge. In addition, this program aims to promote academic exchange between UM and overseas universities as well as research institutions, which will help further increase UM’s international reputation.
Professional mentors will be assigned to young appointees to provide guidance on how to start and develop a research project, how to publish research papers, and how to become a professional faculty member. Upon meeting a satisfactory level of performance assessment at the end of the contract term, the appointees may have the opportunity to become an assistant professor at UM.
