Lee Kong ChianNUS-Stanford Fellowship on Southeast Asia
27 January, 2023
Lee Kong Chian NUS-Stanford fellows spend three to four months at Stanford and two to four months at NUS, writing and conducting research on, or related to, contemporary Southeast Asia. One or two candidates may be awarded fellowships each year. Fellows have opportunities to present their research and participate in seminars and workshops organized by relevant campus units. Exposure to the two universities and their scholars and resources enriches and diversifies collegial feedback on the fellows’ research projects and facilitates intellectual exchange and networking on both sides of the Pacific.
Interested individuals with professional backgrounds or positions in the social sciences or humanities are encouraged to apply. Candidates may be of any nationality or seniority.
Appointments will begin and end within the period from September 1, 2023 to May 31, 2024. In determining the overall length of the fellowship and the sequencing of residence at each campus, fellows’ preferences are taken into account.
Fellows will be based at NUS and Stanford consecutively in either order. Each fellowship covers two separate roundtrip economy-class airfares: one from the fellow’s country of residence to NUS (or to Stanford) and back to that country, the other from that country to Stanford (or to NUS) and back to that country. Exceptions to this rule are discouraged but may be considered depending on the circumstances. The fellowship also includes a stipend of US$ 7500 per month during the fellowship period.

Applicants should submit the following six (6) items:
- A Project Management (not exceeding three pages) that addresses the candidate’s research project’s central analytic question(s) and argument(s), explains its intellectual contribution to scholarship on Southeast Asia, and describes the writing and research envisaged during the fellowship.
