Overview
The Center for Khmer Studies' mission is to promote research, teaching and public service in the social sciences, art and humanities, as the related to Cambodia. Now Ph.D. & Senior Fellowship Competition 2010-2011 is open for U.S. Citizens. The application deadline for the CKS Fellowship Competition is November 15th, 2009. Applications sent by mail should allow sufficient time to arrive on or before deadline. Applicants will be notified of the selection committee’s decisions around January 15, 2010.
It is the responsibility of the applicant to ensure that all application materials, including letters of recommendation, curriculum vitae and transcripts are received prior to the deadline.
Please duplicate the completed applications for your files. For prior recipients of any CKS Fellowship, two full years must elapse between notification of receiving a previous CKS fellowship and the current application deadline. Fellows must inform CKS if they have been awarded another major grant during the Fellowship period. This may entail adjustment of the stipend.
Criteria and Evaluation
The Selection Committee will assess each application on the basis of the project description, the candidate’s academic and/ or professional record and the quality of references. Members of the Selection Committee represent different academic disciplines, so the applicant must explain the nature and significance of the project in terms understandable to a non-specialist audience.
1. Application Form:
The application must be TYPED and all questions answered on the form itself. It is not acceptable to refer to appended material. Answer each question on the form. Please indicate the Fellowship for which you are applying. CKS Fellowships are available in the following categories:
Fellowship Value
Ph.D. Dissertation Research Fellowship: Fellowships from $4,000-$10,000 for periods up to 11 months open to doctoral candidates in the social sciences and the humanities. Fellowships for 4 months or less have travel restrictions. Applicant for Ph.D. fellowships may request up to 5 months of in-country language instruction prior to commencing dissertation research. The request for language training should be integrated into the project proposal.

Please note: All candidates must be U.S. citizens. The selection committee may decide to provide partial support for grant proposals. Applicants are encouraged to seek support from other sources. Fellowships are awarded to individuals, not to teams. Applications for members of group projects will be considered individually, alongside those of individual applicants. Applicants for the Ph.D. Dissertation fellowships must obtain their advisor’s signature on the application form.
2. Reviewer Worksheet:
The Reviewer Worksheet provides basic identifying information about the proposed project and is used in the review process to summarize the three primary areas of competitive review: Project Description, Academic and/ or Professional Record and Quality of References.
3. Supplemental Materials:
Please refer to the Application Checklist when assembling your application and include the checklist with your application materials.
All applications must include a typewritten project statement fully describing your proposed research. Make clear your reasons for pursuing this research, the significance of your project and its relevance to other scholarship, your research and methodology, anticipated results of your study and your timetable for completing the project both in Cambodia and if applicable, to other countries in Southeast Asia. If the completion of this project requires research outside of Cambodia and Southeast Asia, or if you plan a departure from the area during the time of award, please indicate that in the timetable for completion. Also attach a one-page bibliography related to your project. (Please remember that your proposal will be read and evaluated by a committee representing specialists with diverse disciplinary expertise.)
The project statement must conform to the following requirements: it must be double-spaced, 12-point font, no longer than six (6) pages and have one-inch margins. The project title must be clear and understandable.
All applicants must also submit a curriculum vitae of no more than two pages. It should include major publications with the names of publishers and the dates of publication. Citations for articles and monographs must be complete. Please identify clearly all publications resulting from prior CKS-supported research with an asterisk.
Applicants for the Ph.D. Research Fellowship must include official transcripts from all undergraduate and graduate institutions attended with their application.
4. Confidential References:
Each applicant must secure three letters of recommendation. Referees should have sufficient knowledge about the applicant and proposed project to assess the project as well as the applicant’s qualifications to carry it out.
The applicant is responsible for assuring timely submission of recommendations. CKS will accept letters of recommendation via email only from the referee’s university-based email address or mailed directly from the referee to Cambodia. We strongly recommend that you request letters of recommendation as soon as you receive the application materials, and attach a stamped (with sufficient postage) addressed envelope if the recommendation will be sent directly.
