Visiting Graduate Associates are graduate students from universities other than York and who are actively involved in research on Asia or an Asian Diaspora. Interested graduate students should be approved as an International Visiting Research Trainee at York University (as appropriate), with the support of a YCAR Faculty Associate, prior to applying to YCAR. The length of term of a Visiting Graduate Associate shall be decided on a case-by-case basis and is not renewable. Please note that all applicants are expected to be self-funded.
The YCAR application form is available here.
YCAR will contact you after we have received your completed application to confirm receipt and/or if we require additional information before considering your application. All applications go before the YCAR Membership Committee, which meets four times per academic year: 15 January, 15 March, 15 June and 15 October. Applications will be reviewed shortly after each deadline. Please note that the Membership Committee will not review applications outside of these time periods.
All queries can be directed to ycar[at]yorku.ca.
