ASEAN Research Scholars 2008

The Asia Research Institute of NUS invites applications from
ASEAN citizens enrolled for a fulltime advanced degree at a
university in an ASEAN country (except Singapore) for
consideration as ASEAN Research Scholars. These fellowships
are offered to current graduate students 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 1 May 2008, and to make a presentation
on their work at the Singapore Graduate Forum on Southeast
Asian Studies at the end of July 2008.

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
2007. 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 outline of the 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.
