USA Stanford University APARC Fellowships

The Walter H. Shorenstein Asia-Pacific Research Center (APARC) offers a suite of fellowships in contemporary Asia studies. The page states these fellowships are designed to begin in fall quarter, and it lists postdoctoral fellowships and visiting positions hosted by APARC programs, plus postdoctoral fellowships and visiting fellow positions with the Stanford Next Asia Policy Lab.

The fellowships include postdoctoral options for Asia health policy and contemporary Japan; postdoctoral positions for research and writing on contemporary Asia; postdoctoral fellowships and visiting fellow positions with the Stanford Next Asia Policy Lab under specific thematic tracks; and a visiting fellow position on contemporary Taiwan. The page also describes which programs host each fellowship.

Support is described through appointment lengths: the Asia Health Policy Program postdoctoral fellowship and the Japan Program postdoctoral fellowship are one year; the Shorenstein Postdoctoral Fellowship on Contemporary Asia is one year; the Stanford Next Asia Policy Lab offers postdoctoral fellowships for two years and visiting fellow positions for one year; and the Taiwan Program visiting fellowship is for one year. The page specifies appointment start timing in fall quarter and describes that Next Asia Policy Lab postdoctoral fellows lead one thematic research group and support student programming alongside general research and publication activities.
