Southeast Asian Studies Regional Exchange Program

Call for Applications

Postgraduate Fellowship

Objectives:

The fellowship aims to encourage the study of a Southeast Asian country other than one’s own or a comparative study across the region by M.A. or Ph.D. graduate students and postdoctoral researchers. The fellowship supports:

• M.A. or Ph.D. course work and/or thesis research (documentary research and field work) and thesis writing; and

• Postdoctoral research.

Fellowships are awarded for projects that are considered likely to reinforce cross-national or regional identity and promote mutual understanding in the region.

Who may apply:

• M.A. or Ph.D. fellowship: Southeast Asian nationals residing in the region under the age of 40 and enrolled in social science or humanities graduate programs in a Southeast Asian university

• Postdoctoral research: Southeast Asian nationals residing in the region affiliated to a university or research institute in Southeast Asia and who obtained doctorate degree in social science or humanities within three years prior to the date of grant application Scope of research:

Research projects must focus on a Southeast Asian country (or countries) other than the researcher’s own and may involve cross-national comparisons (which may include the researcher’s own country), or examine a regional theme, issue or problem. The research must include library (or archival) research and/or field work in the country or countries being studied.

• For M.A./Ph.D. students, the research findings must be used in the preparation of the M.A. thesis or Ph.D. dissertation.

• For postdoctoral fellows, the research must lead to the publication of a journal article, book chapter, or book.
