The East Asia Institute (EAI) based in Seoul, South Korea, invites
applications for its Fellows Program on Peace, Governance, and
Development in East Asia. The Fellows Program targets East Asia
specialists with cutting-edge expertise in political science,
international relations, and sociology for an international exchange
program with the goal of encouraging interdisciplinary research with a
comparative perspective in the study of East Asia. The EAI Fellows
present seminars and lectures, based on an unpublished article on
current issues submitted solely for the purpose of the Fellows Program,
at two or more Partner Institutions in East Asia.
Program: The Program
is designed to give the Fellows the flexibility required to bring out
the best of their expertise in seminars and lectures. Fellows choose the
subjects of their articles, seminars, and lectures within the broadly
defined themes of peace, governance, and development in East Asia in
order to make the visitation an integral part of their on-going
research. Fellows are free to decide how they will divide their time
among two or more Partner Institutions, giving a seminar and a lecture
apiece at each of the sites chosen. The Partner Institutions are the
East Asia Institute in Seoul, Fudan University in Shanghai, Keio
University in Tokyo, National Taiwan University in Taipei, and Peking
University in Beijing.
Eligibility:
Application is open to East Asia specialized scholars and experts from
all over the world, conducting research in the fields of political
science, international relations, and sociology. Ph.D or other
corresponding qualification is required.
Selection: The EAI
will select five to six Fellows in 2016. The Selection Committee,
composed of representatives of each Participating Institution plus an
advisor who is a member of EAI’s international advisory board, selects
awardees through a rigorous evaluation process. The Selection Committee
looks for groundbreaking research.
Support: The program
provides funds ranging from USD 6,000 to 10,000 for each of the Fellows.
The grant covers an honorarium for the article, seminar, and lecture as
well as the cost of ground transportation, round-trip economy-class
international air flight, hotel accommodation, meals, and a per diem for
a total of two-week (or three-week) stay in East Asia (see comments on
the Brochure).
