description
The International Institute for Asian Studies (IIAS) accommodates postdoctoral researchers in Asian studies in a variety of categories. Sponsorship of these fellowships contributes to the Institute’s aim of augmenting expertise in Asian studies and bolstering the exploration of underdeveloped fields of Asian studies in the Netherlands.
One of the most important goals of the IIAS is to share scholarly expertise by offering universities and other research institutes the opportunity to benefit from the knowledge of resident fellows. IIAS fellows may be invited to lecture, participate in seminars, cooperate on research projects, etc. The IIAS is most willing to mediate in establishing contacts and considers both national and international integration of Asian Studies to be very important objectives.
The IIAS wishes to stress the cooperation between foreign researchers and the Dutch field. With regard to the affiliated fellowships, the IIAS therefore offers to mediate in finding external Dutch funding, should the scholar have not yet found ways of financing his or her visit to the Netherlands.
The IIAS distinguishes between six categories of fellows.
- Affiliated Fellows are offered to excellent postdoctoral scholars who have arranged for their own funding (via own institute, one of the international exchange programs, or a funding organization). In addition, IIAS also offers to mediate in finding financial support for highly qualified scholars.
- Research Fellows are PhD students or postdoctoral scholars attached to IIAS research programmes, which are:
- ABIA South and Southeast Asian Art and Archaeology Index (ABIA)
- Care of the Aged
- Catalogue Collection Sanskrit Texts
- Earth Monitoring and the Social Sciences
- Elderly Care
- Energy Programme Asia (EPA)
- Foreign Brides
- Genomics in Asia: Socio-Genetic Marginalization (SMAP)
- Illegal but Licit
- Indonesianisasi and Nationalization
- Islam in Indonesia
- Piracy and Robbery in the Asian Seas
- Syntax of the Languages of Southern China
- Trans-Himalayan Database Development
- Voices from Tundra and Taiga
- Senior Fellowships offer excellent senior scholars the opportunity to do research in the Netherlands. In addition to scholars, senior fellowships are also granted to distinguished figures in non-scholarly fields such as journalism and diplomacy.
- IIAS Professors are attached to the IIAS to teach, do research, and organize seminars in the Netherlands and other European countries.
- Artists in Residence are for artists from Asia or artists working on Asia. These provide the opportunity to visit the Netherlands to work and to establish or expand a European network.
