Stanford University: 2027-2028 Postdoctoral Fellowship on Contemporary Asia

The Walter H. Shorenstein Asia-Pacific Research Center at Stanford University is pleased to announce its search for two 2027-2028 Shorenstein Postdoctoral Fellows on Contemporary Asia. Made possible through the generosity of Walter H. Shorenstein, awards will be made to two junior scholars (recent PhDs must have degree conferral and approval by June 30, 2027) for research and writing on Asia.

The primary focus of the fellowship is on contemporary political, economic, or social change in the Asia-Pacific region (including Northeast, Southeast, and South Asia), or topics in international relations and international political economy. The postdoctoral fellowship is a 10-month appointment with a salary rate commensurate with university policies (annual rate of $83,000, to be prorated for the 10-month fellowship, plus benefits and up to $3,000 for research expenses). Appointments will begin in the fall quarter of the 2027-2028 academic year. Postdoctoral fellows are required to be in residence for the duration of the fellowship.

Applications will be accepted until December 1, 2026.
