Current Fellowships
Current fellowship opportunities include the following awards.
IEAS Graduate Fellowships in East Asian Studies
The Institute of East Asian Studies (IEAS) announces its 2012-2013 fellowship competition for continuing graduate students in East Asian Studies. Subject to availability of funding, a small number of competitive awards of up to $6,000 (maximum) are available. We expect most awards, however, will be in the $1,500-$3,500 range. Successful applicants should propose a coherent plan of research/study that will result in tangible progress towards their graduate degree. IEAS fellowships are intended to facilitate special research proposals and study plans, and are not intended for general support.

Haas Junior Scholars Program
The Haas Junior Scholars Program for Doctoral Candidates (HJS) at the Institute of East Asian Studies (IEAS) allows Berkeley PhD candidates from various disciplines to come together for twice-monthly forums at IEAS during the academic year to discuss perspectives, methodological approaches, empirical research and original findings centered on their dissertation projects. Participants are expected to share draft chapters of research in progress and to receive feedback from peers. Collaboration between humanists, social scientists and additional fields such as environmental or health sciences, city planning, architecture and design, journalism, and so forth is not required but much encouraged. Preference in awards will be given to groups that bring diverse disciplinary perspectives and empirical expertise to shed light on related research questions that may cohere around underlying themes.
