- Each applicant must identify at least one faculty member from each institution who agrees to serve as his/her host supervisor.
- Selection is based on the academic excellence of the applicant, the quality of the proposed research project, compelling demonstration of the anticipated synergy of a joint postdoctoral project, and the commitment of the respective hosts at both institutions.

Applicants are advised to review the research section of the PKU webpage and the research section of the IIASA webpage. Communication with the relevant program representatives is strongly encouraged at the earliest possible stage, and before submitting an application.
