Call for Fellows: August 2013 – June 2014
The Harvard Kennedy School (HKS) Indonesia Program invites Indonesian researchers, academics, and practitioners to apply for the Indonesia Research Fellowship in order to pursue independent research projects at the Ash Center. Made possible through the generous support of the Rajawali Foundation, this research fellowship opportunity allows successful applicants to join a lively community of researchers working on Asia-related issues.
Research Fellowships may be focused on individual research or institutional development, as follows:
- Research Fellows may pursue significant in-depth research in their area of academic and/or professional expertise, including but not limited to: completing dissertation research and writing (for pre-doc Fellows); publishing articles following a dissertation (for post-doc Fellows); or completing an applied policy analysis of areas of professional expertise (for Practitioner Fellows).
- Research Fellows may be representatives of research institutions or universities in Indonesia, and may use the fellowship to explore areas of academic development and collaboration such as curriculum development and case study development. The proposed work must clearly strengthen the institutional capabilities of the host institution for teaching or researching public policy in Indonesia.
- Appointments will run for one full academic year, from mid-August 2013 to mid-June 2014. With instructor approval, Research Fellows may “audit” classes at Harvard Kennedy School or other Harvard schools.
- Research Fellows will receive a certificate upon completion, but no degrees will be conferred.
- Research Fellows will receive shared office space within the Ash Center, on the campus of Harvard University in Cambridge (outside Boston, Massachusetts).
- Research Fellows will have access to the library system of Harvard University.
- For Indonesian Research Fellows, HKS will pay for appropriate housing, health insurance, and a modest living stipend. HKS will not provide international transportation or pay for pre-departure costs. (If accepted, Research Fellows are encouraged to seek financial support for these items from their employers or other sponsors such as the Indonesian Ministry of Education or DIKTI, the Directorate General for Higher Education.)
