The Medical Humanities China-UK (MHCUK) Partnership is a pioneering collaboration between three Chinese institutions (Shanghai University, Fudan University, the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences) and two UK institutions (The Centre for the Social History of Health and Healthcare (CSHHH) Glasgow at the University of Strathclyde, and the Centre for the History of Science, Technology and Medicine (CHSTM) at the University of Manchester). Its chief purpose is to connect, and foster co-working between, UK and Chinese researchers in the Medical Humanities.  It is supported by investment from each institution and a major funding award from the Wellcome Trust.

The successful applicant will spend 6 months working in Shanghai across the three partner institutions and 6 months at the UK partner universities.

The post will enable the Researcher to experience research in a new academic environment and enhance their employability. Shanghai University will deliver tailored Chinese language support for Fellows to enable them to develop spoken skills for effective professional communication.
