Contemporary Taiwan Fellowships at Stanford APARC

Stanford’s Shorenstein Asia-Pacific Research Center (APARC) offers Contemporary Taiwan Fellowships to support scholarly work on Taiwan’s politics, society, economics, cross-strait relations, and its role in East Asia. The program invites scholars to spend a year in residence at Stanford to develop publishable research, engage with multidisciplinary colleagues, and participate in APARC’s Taiwan program activities.

Salary, research budget, access to Stanford libraries, seminars, mentorship from faculty affiliated with the Taiwan Program, and participation in APARC activities.

Applicants must hold a PhD (or equivalent) in a relevant field and may be at different career stages; preference for early- to mid-career scholars. Proposals should focus on Taiwan or cross-strait/regional issues.

Submit CV, research proposal (3–5 pages), publication plan or outputs, letters of recommendation, and proof of PhD completion or timeline; alignment with APARC’s Taiwan Program interests is encouraged.
