The Walter H. Shorenstein Asia-Pacific Research Center (Shorenstein APARC), a unique Stanford University institution focused on the study of contemporary Asia, is pleased to invite applications for its Developing Asia Health Policy Fellowship. The fellowship would run for three to nine months between Sept. 1, 2012 and Aug. 31, 2013.

Inaugurated in 2011, the fellowship is designed to bring leading health policy experts from low-income Asian countries to Stanford as visiting fellows at Shorenstein APARC. Visiting fellows will work with the Center’s Asia Health Policy Program on conceptualizing and launching collaborative research on a topic of importance for health policy in their country, as well as deliver a related public lecture.

The fellowship carries with it a stipend and research budget, to be determined based on the duration of residence at Stanford. We welcome applications from health policy researchers from low-income countries such as Mongolia, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, and Nepal. We invite interested applicants to submit two letters of recommendation, a curriculum vitae, and a short research statement (not to exceed six double-spaced pages) by March 5, 2012. Applicants will be notified by April 2012. Address all materials and queries to Lisa Lee, fellowship coordinator.
