Scholarship Description:  For the 2014-15 program year on “Global Diffusion,” the Fung Global Fellows program welcomes applications from scholars who have received their PhD (or the equivalent of an Anglo-American PhD) within 10 years of the proposed start date of the fellowship. For a fellowship beginning in fall 2014, applicants must have received their degree no earlier than September 1, 2004. The receipt of the PhD is determined by the date on which all requirements for the degree at the applicant’s home institution, including the defense and filing of the dissertation, were fulfilled.

Number of award (s): Each year, the Fung Global Fellows Program will select six scholars from around the world.

Duration of award (s): Fellowships are for one academic year, 10 months from September to June.

What does it cover? -Within the limits of its resources, it is the intent of the program to provide a salary that equals the normal salary paid to a fellow at his or her home institution. In cases where the fellow’s base salary scale is significantly below the norm, salaries may be adjusted upward to compensate. Fellows will be eligible for health insurance through the Princeton University benefits plan.

-Fellows have the privileges of a Visiting Research Scholar at the Princeton Institute for International and Regional Studies. They are given office space and computer access in a suite dedicated to the program. The program will assist fellows in finding appropriate furnished housing through the University Housing Office and private landlords. While secretarial assistance is not provided, the PIIRS staff may assist with directing fellows to relevant offices and campus services.

-The program will pay transportation costs for each fellow, and his or her spouse or domestic partner and for their child/children, with the following limitations: It will pay for the most economical means of transportation for one round-trip for the fellow, spouse or partner, and children from and to his or her home institution. Travel funds for a spouse or partner and children are restricted to persons accompanying a fellow for a substantial period of time, that is, at least two months. These funds are not intended for dependents taking brief holidays in or outside the United States.

-The program will pay for the shipment of books and papers that are necessary for the continuation of research. Typically, it is not necessary to bring many books. The Princeton University Library possesses over five million volumes, and those not in its collection are readily available through interlibrary loan. Fellows are advised not to send research materials by sea, since they are often months late in arriving. Because fellows are expected to secure furnished lodgings during their period of residency, the program will provide only very limited funds for shipment of household items each way.

Selection criteria: Criteria for the fellowship includes: the strength of the candidate’s research projects, the relationship of those projects to the program’s theme, the candidate’s previous scholarly work, the candidate’s ability to contribute to the intellectual life and intellectual exchange of the program, and the candidate’s work experience outside the United States. The selection committee is looking to establish a cohort of fellows whose work represents diverse analytical approaches and disciplinary backgrounds and addresses a wide variety of places.

Notification: Candidates selected for interviews will be contacted by email in mid-December. All other applicants will be notified in 2014, once the selection process has been completed.

How to Apply: Only applications submitted through the online portal will be considered. The application dossier consists of seven (7) items. Items 1-6 should be submitted by the applicant; item 7, the letters of recommendation, should be submitted by the referees.

All Souls College, University of Oxford offers Visiting Fellowships for pursuing research program at Oxford in UK. Most Visiting Fellows are holders of university posts, but the College welcomes applications from others, including those in public life. Visiting Fellowships are not normally offered to candidates who before the end of their tenure of the fellowship would have reached the retirement age in force for academic fellows of the College (67). There is no limitation upon the field of study. The students of UK can apply for these fellowships. The application deadline is 6th September 2013.

Study Subject(s): Fellowships are provided in any field of study.
Course Level: Fellowships are available for pursuing research program.
Scholarship Provider: All Souls College, University of Oxford
Scholarship can be taken at: UK

Eligibility: Most Visiting Fellows are holders of university posts, but the College welcomes applications from others, including those in public life (e.g. in Law, public policy, or the Arts) who wish to carry out scholarly work in Oxford. Visiting Fellowships are not normally offered to candidates who before the end of their tenure of the fellowship would have reached the retirement age in force for academic fellows of the College (67). There is no limitation upon the field of study. There is no lower age limit, but, given the number of applications we receive, candidates with recent doctorates are unlikely to succeed in the competition. It is not the College’s policy to offer Visiting Fellowships to persons holding posts in Oxford or who are already resident in or near Oxford.

Scholarship Open for International Students: The students of UK can apply for these fellowships.

Scholarship Description: Each year the College offers a number of Visiting Fellowships to people who intend to engage in study and research in Oxford and are prepared to participate in the academic life of the College. Visiting Fellows are expected to be resident in Oxford during the tenure of the Fellowship. A Visiting Fellow may be elected for a period of one, two, or three terms within the Oxford academic year. Visiting Fellows are expected to be normally resident in Oxford during term. The period of the Visiting Fellowship extends for an additional two weeks either side of each term. Accommodation for Fellows who are elected for the Michaelmas term should be available from 15 September, and for Visiting Fellows with school-age children it is usually possible to arrange an earlier arrival date in order to harmonize with school terms. Visiting Fellows who are elected for more than one term may also be in residence during the vacation(s) between those terms. The College usually aims to accommodate nine Visiting Fellows in each term.

Number of award(s): Each year the College offers a number of Visiting Fellowships.

Duration of award(s): Visiting Fellows are expected to be resident in Oxford during the tenure of the Fellowship. A Visiting Fellow may be elected for a period of one, two, or three terms within the Oxford academic year.

What does it cover? Although Visiting Fellows are not members of the governing body of the College, they enjoy nearly all the privileges of ordinary Fellows (including lunches and dinners without charge). The College normally provides without charge a study in College and fully-furnished residential accommodation in Oxford. The flats usually provided to Visiting Fellows are large enough to accommodate a partner. Accommodation for Visiting Fellows with school-age children can usually be provided. There is no salary attached to Visiting Fellowships. In exceptional circumstances the College may offer limited financial help. Any candidates desiring to take advantage of this provision should indicate this at the time of application in the ‘Financial Subvention’ section of the online form.

Selection Criteria: The College has to choose every year from among a large number of well-qualified applicants, in widely varied fields of study. In making this choice, we give weight to intellectual quality, to the interest and feasibility of the research project, and to the benefit of carrying it out in Oxford. We therefore ask applicants to include with their application form a full statement, of not more than a thousand words, of the scholarly project they would pursue during their tenure of a Visiting Fellowship, and of the benefit of carrying it out in Oxford.

Notification: Not Known

How to Apply: The mode of applying is online.

Scholarship Application Deadline: The application deadline is 6th September 2013.
