The East Asian Institute (EAI), as an autonomous full-time research organisation within the National University of Singapore, has established itself as Asia's premier English-language research institute on China and other East Asian societies. Located on the historic Bukit Timah Campus, the Institute boasts of superb library facilities and research support.

EAI seeks to appoint two or more research fellows and senior research fellows. Applicants should possess a Ph.D. in a social science discipline (esp. economics, political science, sociology, and international relations) and must be interested in conducting academic and policy-relevant research on political, economic and social development in contemporary China. Successful candidates will be offered an initial contract of up to two years (renewable).

The Institute also has separate openings for established scholars who wish to come to EAI for short-term visiting appointments in the summer or for their sabbatical.

The commencing salary will depend on the candidate's qualifications, experience and the level of appointment offered. Depending on the type of contract and appointment offered, benefits may include provident fund benefits or a special payment for expatriate staff, travel assistance and housing allowance.

Interested candidates should send in their applications (form available at http://www.eai.nus.edu.sg/form.pdf), together with their c.v., publications and other writing samples, a discussion of current research and future research plans, and the names and addresses of three academic referees. Only short-listed candidates will be notified. Please send completed applications to:
