I am writing on behalf of UBC’s Institute of Asian Research, which is located in the School of Public Policy & Global Affairs. The IAR is launching an IAR Fellows program for UBC graduate students interested in issues relevant to contemporary Asia, broadly defined. IAR Fellows receive benefits that will support their research and scholarly development. Applications are welcome from all disciplines, but especially from units that have not traditionally had strong associations with IAR.
Could you please circulate the text below together with the attached Program Description and Application to your graduate students? Thank you in advance, and please do not hesitate to direct questions to iar.sppga@ubc.ca
Best,
Kai Ostwald
Director of the Institute of Asian Research

The Institute of Asian Research, within UBC’s School of Public Policy & Global Affairs, invites currently enrolled graduate students to apply for its IAR Fellows program. The program brings together graduate students with interests in issues of relevance to contemporary Asia. IAR Fellows will receive a research stipend and work space in the IAR’s CK Choi building (conditional on covid restrictions), as well as opportunities for collaboration and mentorship. The program welcomes applications from all disciplines across the social sciences, applied sciences, professional schools, and humanities. Further details and a short application form are attached. The application deadline is September 15; applications may be accepted after this deadline if spaces remain open. Please direct questions to iar.sppga@ubc.ca
