Doctoral fellows participate in a methods workshop in East Asia, hosted by the Institute of Social Sciences at the University of Tokyo and the School of Sociology and Population Studies at Renmin University of China, Beijing. Doctoral research projects are eligible for up to ten months of field research funding in China or Japan.
Applications are invited from candidates with advanced language skills in Chinese or Japanese, and a strong MA (or equivalent) degree in Economics, Political Science, Sociology, Geography or in social scientific East Asian Regional Studies.
