Shorenstein Postdoctoral Fellowship on Contemporary Asia 2026-2027 (Funded) – YOA

Deadline: December 1, 2025

Applications are open for the Shorenstein Postdoctoral Fellowship on Contemporary Asia 2026-2027. Each yr, the Walter H. Shorenstein Asia-Pacific Research Center (Shorenstein APARC) gives two postdoctoral fellowship positions to junior students for analysis and writing on modern Asia. The main analysis areas focus on political, financial, or social change within the Asia-Pacific area (together with Northeast, Southeast, and South Asia), or on worldwide relations and worldwide political financial system within the area. The fellowships are made attainable via the generosity of APARC’s benefactor, Walter H. Shorenstein.

Appointments start within the fall quarter of the tutorial yr. The fellowships are restricted to latest PhDs: candidates can’t be greater than three years previous the awarding of their doctoral diploma when the fellowship begins. They should have their diploma conferral and official approval/certification no later than June 30 previous to the fellowship begin date (that’s, no later than June 30, 2026, for 2026-27 fellowships beginning in fall 2026).

Postdoctoral fellows are required to be in residence during the appointment and take part in Center actions all through the tutorial yr. Fellows are additionally required to current their analysis findings in Center seminars and to take part within the Center’s publication program.

Benefits

• The postdoctoral fellowship is a ten-month appointment with a wage commensurate with Stanford coverage, based mostly on the annual fee of $80,000 (to be prorated for the ten-month appointment), plus as much as $3,000 for analysis bills.

Eligibility
