3. AUSTRALIAN NATIONAL UNIVERSITY DOCTORAL AND POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIPS FOR SOUTHEAST ASIAN STUDIES, 2000 ROUND. Fellowships are available in the social sciences and humanities for research on Southeast Asia at The Australian National University (ANU). The fellowships, funded by the Luce Foundation, will be for three to twelve months. Beginning and ending dates are flexible. The primary objective of this fellowship program is to enhance Southeast Asian studies in the United States by giving selected junior scholars based there access to resources for this field of study at the ANU. Doctoral fellows must be graduate students in US universities who have completed their course except the dissertation, are highly recommended, have well developed dissertation topics, and can make a strong case for why a fellowship will benefit their dissertation work. Postdoctoral fellows must be US-based scholars who received their PhD degree within the last five years, are highly recommended, and have a clearly defined project to undertake at the ANU. Postdoctoral fellowship applicants not based at US universities with major centers for the study of Southeast Asia are preferred.

Fellowships include stipends, airfare, and research funding. Deadline for 2000 round: 1 January 2000. Selections will be announced by early March 2000. Similar fellowships will also be available in the year 2001.
