The East-West Center seeks scholars of high accomplishment and promise whose
research and presence will contribute creatively to the development of its
research areas and to the Asia Pacific region. Applicants must have a PhD or
equivalent. Preference will be given to applicants that have both strong
conceptual background and demonstrated accomplishments in policy research,
and to proposals that are innovative and suggest new ways of addressing the
challenges that the region faces. Preference is given to applicants that
have not previously held an East-West Center fellowship. Funds for these
fellowships come from two sources. US government funds support scholars from
the US as well as from Asian or Pacific countries. Funds are also available
to support a limited number of scholars from other areas whose research
focuses on the Asia Pacific. Fellowships are typically awarded for between
two and four months and must be undertaken during the period October 1, 2007
through September 30, 2008. Visiting Fellowships are carried out at the EWC
in Honolulu, Hawai’i. However, collaboration with EWC researchers before and
after the Fellow’s stay in Honolulu is encouraged. Stipends vary with
seniority and are individually determined. Non-Hawai`i residents may receive
one round-trip economical airfare between their home base and Honolulu.
Cost-sharing fellowships are welcome.
Expected Outputs and Publication Opportunities Visiting Fellows may prepare
a working paper addressing the themes outlined in the assigned projects or
developed in his or her independent proposal. An abbreviated version of the
working paper may be a candidate for publication in the Center’s Asia
Pacific Issues series — a policy relevant peer-reviewed series with papers
ranging in length from 3,200 to 4,200 words (10-12 double-spaced pages). The
Center’s Editorial Committee will consider submissions. Visiting Fellows
customarily provide a presentation on research activities and findings at a
center-wide seminar at the conclusion of the fellowship.
Required Qualifications Applicants must be citizens or legal permanent
residents of an Asian or Pacific country or of the United States.
Non-American award recipients must meet all Exchange Visitor (J-1) visa
