East-West Center Fellowships 2014

The East-West Center is now accepting applications from scholars and analysts who wish to undertake policy-relevant research and writing in Washington, D.C., in two programs.

Japan Studies Fellowship

Funded by the Japan Foundation Center for Global Partnership

This fellowship supports scholars and analysts from both the United States and Japan to conduct research on key issues of relevance to the US-Japan partnership, including diplomatic, politico-security, economic, social and international fields. We especially welcome applicants specializing on Japan’s economy or US-Japan collaborative economic ties.

The fellowship finances a three-month OR six-month residence in Washington, D.C., and a one-week research trip to Japan during the fellowship period. Residency may begin as early as May 2014 and extend until January 2015. Fellows will complete articles or a monograph and must give a public seminar on their topic.

Asia Studies Fellowship

This fellowship supports scholars and analysts who wish to undertake policy-relevant research and writing in one of the following areas: 1) international relations in Asia; 2) political and economic change in Asia; 3) U.S.-Asia relations; and/or 4) economic integration and architecture in the Asia-Pacific.

The fellowship finances up to a three-month residence in Washington, D.C., and, optionally and at the Fellowship’s discretion, a small grant to cover field research in Asia prior to the start of the fellowship. Residency may begin as early as May 2014 and extend until January 2015. Fellows will complete articles or a monograph and must give a public seminar on their topic.
