The Asia Research Institute of NUS invites applications from citizens
of Asian countries enrolled for a fulltime advanced degree at a
university in an Asian country (except Singapore) for consideration
for the award of Asian Graduate Student Fellowships. These
fellowships are offered to current graduate students doing their
Master's or PhD degrees and working in the Humanities and Social
Sciences on Southeast Asian topics, and will allow the recipients to
be based at NUS for an `in residence fellowship' for a period of
three months. The aim of the fellowship is to enable scholars to
make full use of the wide range of resources held in the libraries of
NUS and the Institute of Southeast Asian Studies. Scholars will be
expected to commence on 4 May 2009, and to make a presentation on
their work at the Singapore Graduate Forum on Southeast Asian Studies
at the end of July 2009.
Successful candidates can expect the following benefits:
1) A monthly allowance of SGD$1,750 (inclusive of housing
allowance).
2) A one time round trip travel subsidy by the most economical
and direct route on a reimbursement basis upon being accepted for the
fellowship.
3) Access to library and computer resources on campus.
Applicants are invited to e-mail/facsimile/mail their curriculum
vitae, a 2-page outline of their research proposal in English (this
may be accompanied by a longer statement in a Southeast Asian
language) to the address below by 15 November 2008. Arrangements
should also be made by which at least two letters of reference, one
of which is from your principal supervisor, are sent confidentially
to the same address by the same deadline.
The 2-page research proposal must include the following details:
1) Whether the data collection or fieldwork stage of the
research has already been completed;
2) how the fellowship will contribute to the research;
3) the types of sources to be consulted in Singapore;
4) proposed work plan during the fellowship.
You can look forward to excellent library and internet computer
facilities at NUS' main library (http://www.lib.nus.edu.sg/), the
library at the Institute of Southeast Asian Studies (ISEAS)
(http://www.iseas.edu.sg/library.html) and the Lee Kong Chian
Reference Library at the National Library (http://www.nlb.gov.sg) to
facilitate your research for the dissertation. NUS' main library has
2 million volumes covering all topics while ISEAS' library has
200,000 on Southeast Asian topics, half of which are in Southeast
Asian languages.
