The Southeast Asia Fellowship Program
The East-West Center (EWC) and the Institute of Southeast Asian Studies (ISEAS) in Singapore are accepting applications from scholars and analysts who wish to undertake policy-relevant research and writing in one of the following areas: 1. International relations of Southeast Asia; 2. Political change in Southeast Asia; and 3. ASEAN integration and community-building efforts.
Funded by a grant from The Henry Luce Foundation, ISEAS Singapore, and the East-West Center, the fellowships finance fieldwork in Southeast Asia, a two-month residence at the ISEAS in Singapore, and a three-month residence at the East-West Center in Washington, D.C. While in residence in Washington, D.C., the fellows will complete an article or monograph to be considered for publication in a peer-reviewed publication, such as the East-West Center’s Policy Studies series. The first full draft of the manuscript should be completed before the end of the residency period. Fellows are also encouraged to give a public presentation on their topic. Up to three fellowships will be awarded.
Fellowships will include a monthly stipend of US$2,500 to $4,500 (dependent upon experience) while in residence at EWC in Washington and round trip airfare to Washington, D.C. A stipend while in residence at ISEAS and round trip airfare to Singapore will be provided by ISEAS. Additionally, at the discretion of the Director, a small grant to cover field research, in Asia only, may be available. Fieldwork in the region and residence at ISEAS will be completed prior to residence at the East-West Center in Washington.
Applicants with or without a Ph.D. will be considered. Applicants without a Ph.D. will be considered based on their relevant professional experience. Applicants must be nationals of a country within the scope of their Fellowship or the United States and eligible to receive a fellowship stipend. Successful applications will include a cover letter, a full CV, two letters of reference, and a policy-relevant research proposal of ten pages (double spaced). The proposal should discuss the policy problem or issue to be examined, tentative hypothesis and arguments, a review and short bibliography of the relevant literature, plans for fieldwork (if any), and project time frame. If field research funds are sought, please briefly explain why and how they are to be used. All materials must be received by October 1, 2008, at:
