Post-Graduate Research Fellowships of the Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada

Overview

The Foundation is committed to fostering the next generation of Asia Pacific researchers and analysts. To this end, it will offer up to three Post-Graduate Research Fellowships valued at $35,000 for Master’s graduates and at $38,000 for PhD graduates for a one year non-renewable term.

In their time at the Foundation, Post-Graduate Research Fellows undertake a guided research project, with a view to producing a policy paper of 5,000-8,000 words on a mutually-agreed upon topic related to Asia, including policy implications for Canada, or Canada-Asia relations. Papers produced by Post-Graduate Research Fellows are modeled after and considered for publication as a Canada-Asia Commentary.

Post-Graduate Research Fellows are based in the APF’s Vancouver office. In addition to composing a research project, Fellows are expected to participate in the day-to-day activities of the Foundation, including:

- Assisting in the composition and distribution of the daily Canada-Asia news service
- Organizational assistance in hosting roundtables, conferences and meetings both in-house and off-site.
- Participation and contribution in APF Canada Research Group meetings as well as at meetings and activities in the Canadian and Asian policy community.
- Assistance with on-going Foundation research such as the Asia Pacific Gateway and Transnational Migration projects.


Post-Graduate Research Fellows balance their time between their guided research project and broader Foundation activities. They are encouraged to maximize their time at the Foundation and are given the space to explore new and innovative ways to advance the Foundation’s on-going mission.
