East-West Center Call for Applications: Inviting Applicants for the Asia Studies Fellowship

Rice Family Foundation to Support Local Area Non-Profit Organizations (US)

Deadline: 2 January 2017

The East-West Center (EWC) accepts applications from scholars and analysts who wish to undertake Asia Studies Fellowship research and writing on topics of relevance to contemporary US-Asia policy.

The program particularly focuses on proposals regarding key challenges in U.S.-Asia relations and possible responses and approaches to addressing those challenges.

Specific topics of interest include but are not limited to: competing economic initiatives in Asia, regional institutions as well as sustaining U.S. alliances and partnerships.

The fellowship finances residencies for a period of three months at the East-West Center in Washington in Washington, D.C. Exceptional proposals that justify six months will be considered if funds and space allow. While in residence, the fellows will complete an article or monograph to be considered for publication such as the Asia Pacific Issues series or the Policy Studies series.

Benefits

The fellowship includes a monthly stipend of US$2,500 to $5,000 (dependent upon experience) while in residence at EWC in Washington, round trip economy airfare to Washington, D.C., and reimbursement of any applicable visa fees. Residency may begin as early as March 2017 and extend through September 2017. All fellowships must conclude by September 30. Fellows are responsible for securing their own housing and medical insurance coverage during their term of residency.
