Call for Application: Visiting Research Fellowship (2026) - BASED IN MACAU
United Nations University · Macau SAR, Macao
The United Nations University Institute in Macau (UNU Macau) invites applications for its Visiting Research Fellowship Programme for 2026. This short-term, in-residence opportunity (1 to 3 months) is designed for talented researchers and practitioners to conduct policy-oriented research on Digital Emerging Technologies for Sustainable Development (DET4SD). Fellows will bridge the gap between technological innovation and decision-making tools needed by UN agencies and member states to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The role requires full physical presence in Macau and involves delivering tangible outputs such as academic articles, technical demos, or novel digital tools, alongside active engagement with the institute's research team. Candidates must be affiliated with an academic or research organization. The fellowship is open to two tracks: an Early-Career Track for advanced PhD students, postdocs, or junior academics with emerging publication records, and a Senior Track for established researchers or faculty with a PhD and substantial research impact. Financial support includes a monthly stipend, travel reimbursement, and housing subsidy. The program emphasizes strategic alignment, operational feasibility, innovation, and measurable social impact. Applicants must submit a CV, a primary research sample, and a detailed research proposal. The application deadline is July 24, 2026, for fellowships occurring between September and December 2026.
