On April 22, 2024, the Fudan Institute for Global Public Policy (IGPP) held the launching ceremony of Postdoctoral Workstation. The ceremony was attended by members of the expert group and cooperating mentors of the Postdoctoral Workstation, including Professor Yijia Jing, the director of the Postdoctoral Workstation, Professor Yingyao Chen, Vice Dean of the Fudan School of Public Health, Professor Xu Tang from the Fudan Development Institute, Professor Mark Robbins, Chair Professor at IGPP, and Dr. Haoqi Qian, Assistant Professor at the IGPP. In addition, Professor Dwayne Woods, a visiting scholar at the IGPP, Mr. Lei Zhang from the Postdoctoral Office of the Human Resources Department, and faculty and students from the IGPP participated in the ceremony.

Professor Jing briefly introduced the intention of establishing the workstation, the mentor team, development plans, and support system. The workstation establishes the Fudan-LSE Global Public Policy postdoctoral program, relying on the IGPP, LSE-Fudan Research Centre for Global Public Policy, and LSE-Fudan Global Public Policy Hub. By practicing a highly internationalized talent training model and gathering high-quality interdisciplinary academic resources from both Fudan University and external sources, the workstation aims to cultivate global governance scholars with a broad international perspective and interdisciplinary abilities. The attending experts discussed their views and measures regarding the introduction of outstanding talents and the cultivation of high-quality talents.

The Fudan-LSE Global Public Policy postdoctoral program has now launched its recruitment process and plans to recruit 2 postdoctoral fellows in 2024.
