The National University of Singapore (NUS) and Stanford University (Stanford) are pleased to announce that the deadline for applications for the 2012-2013 Lee Kong Chian NUS-Stanford Distinguished Fellowship on Southeast Asia has been extended to 25th February 2012. Interested individuals with backgrounds or positions in the social sciences or humanities are encouraged to apply. Candidates may be of any nationality or seniority.

One or two candidates may be awarded fellowships. A successful candidate will spend up to six months between 1st August 2012 and 30th June 2013, divided between residences at NUS and at Stanford, writing and conducting research on, or related to, contemporary Southeast Asia. Fellows will also have opportunities to speak and take part in seminars and workshops organized by relevant campus units. In determining the overall length of the fellowship and the sequencing and lengths of the stays at each campus, the preferences of the fellow concerned will be taken into account.

Each fellowship will cover one roundtrip economy-class airfare from the fellow’s country of residence to NUS (or Stanford), on to Stanford (or NUS), and back to the fellow's country of residence; flight-related ground transportation; and a stipend of US$ 7500 per month during the fellowship period.

Applicants should submit the following six (6) items:
