Junior Visiting Fellows

The Centre for the Study of Social Inequality (CSSI) at the School of Social Sciences, Nanyang Technological University, invites applications for Junior Visiting Fellows at CSSI.

This fellowship lasts 6 months and aims to provide support and mentorship for junior scholars who are conducting fieldwork in Singapore on a research topic related to social inequality.

Junior Visiting Fellows (“Fellows”) will receive 1000 SGD per month as a stipend (6000 SGD in total) and have use of CSSI’s office space. They will also be mentored by CSSI’s Directors and/or its Associates. Fellows are expected to contribute to CSSI’s activities (5-10 hours a week), and to present their work towards the end of their fellowships.

The fellowship is open to students:
• of all nationalities;
• enrolled in PhD programmes at any university;
• who have completed all PhD requirements except the dissertation;
• conducting fieldwork in Singapore on a research topic related to social inequality.

Applicants are strongly encouraged to apply concurrently to other sources of research funding, such as Singapore’s Social Science Research Council Graduate Research Fellowship (SSRC GRF).
