International Institute for Asian Studies (IIAS) offers postdoctoral fellowships for researchers from around the world who would like to apply for a position as ‘affiliated fellow’ at IIAS.
The positions are intended for outstanding post-doctoral researchers (also see ‘Terms and conditions’) from around the world, to work on an important piece of research in the social sciences and humanities. Interdisciplinary interests are encouraged. We also welcome researchers who would like to work on a collaborative grant proposal or develop their PhD thesis into book publication. They are particularly looking for researchers focusing on the three clusters ‘Asian cities’, ‘Asian heritages’ and ‘Global Asia’. However some positions will be reserved for outstanding projects in any area outside of those listed. Applications which link to more than one field are also welcome. On the application form, you will be asked to indicate to which cluster your proposed research relates, or to choose the “open category”.
