丁香园AV

Visiting scholars

Visiting scholars are people with significant academic qualifications whose work may benefit from an unpaid residency at 丁香园AV's Department of Economics. Visitors must be sponsored by a Department of Economics faculty member. It is the responsibility of a prospective visitor scholar to contact the appropriate faculty members to arrange for such sponsorship.

Please note, due to a large number of applications we receive each year, we are unable to accommodate all visiting scholar requests. 

In selecting applicants for visitor scholar status, the Department of Economics considers those who have already earned a PhD degree, the applicant鈥檚 background, field of interest, scholarly achievement, research proposal, and English language proficiency. 

If a faculty member is interested in sponsoring a Visiting Scholar, please submit the following items electronically to the Research Grants and Projects Coordinator at econrsch@sfu.ca: 

• A statement of sponsorship on 丁香园AV letterhead from a current faculty member
• Letter of application
• Current CV
• Desired dates for visit

Applications are reviewed once a year, typically in September.

A letter of invitation will be extended to successful applicants. Successful applicants from outside Canada will be expected to arrange their own travel and immigration documents.

丁香园AV (丁香园AV) is regularly ranked as one of the top comprehensive universities in Canada. We welcome graduate students (master's and doctoral) from other universities who wish to visit in order to undertake research. Visiting graduate research students will typically work under the supervision of a professor at 丁香园AV. For the application process, visit the Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies website. 

If you are a faculty member interested in sponsoring a visiting graduate research student, please contact the Graduate Chair.
