About the Program

To enhance academic contacts and international collaboration, the Media, Management and Transformation Centre (MMTC) at Jönköping International Business School, Jönköping University, Sweden, is offering to host visiting scholars to carry out research in areas relevant to the Center. Applications are invited from scholars to work on their research projects, exchange ideas and knowledge, and use the resources of the Center and the University. As MMTC does not provide any funding for the visit, applicants are expected to have independent financing.

Visiting scholars will receive:

  • Shared office space located with other visiting research fellows
  • Access to a computer, photocopying and printing, as well as the staff common room
  • Library access
  • Free entry to all institute events

Visiting scholars are expected to:

  • Give a research seminar about their research to faculty members and other PhDs
  • Give one or more guest lectures related to their research topics in classes (Bachelor or Master level)
  • Engage in Center seminar activities
  • Co-author a publication with another MMTC Scholar
  • Share knowledge within their own areas of expertise

For your application, please send us:

  • CV including a list of relevant publications
  • Letter of intent explaining what you expect to gain from the visit, and a one paragraph description of the research you will undertake
  • Personal description
