The Taiwan Foundation for Democracy grants a limited number of fellowships to scholars and practitioners from outside Taiwan who wish to pursue research related to Taiwan’s democracy and human rights.
The TFD divides its fellowships into four categories:
- Dissertation Fellowships, for PhD candidates writing their thesis
- Postdoctoral Fellowships, for those who have recently received their PhD
- Democracy and Human Rights Service Fellowships, for those who want to be involved in democracy and human rights projects in Taiwan
- International Visiting Fellowships, for experienced democracy and human rights practitioners
TFD Fellows may reside in Taiwan for up to one year to conduct research topics of their own choice that are related to Taiwan’s democracy and human rights. There is no minimum length for fellowships but all Fellows are responsible for completing their projects successfully within the time allotted to them. However, fellowships must end in or before December of the same calendar year in which they begin.
Responsibilities:
The TFD will provide the following services to its Fellows:
- A monthly stipend designed to assist with living expenses in Taiwan
- A reimbursement for a round-trip ticket from the applicant’s current location to Taiwan
- Shared office space at the TFD, including computing facilities and internet access
- Use of the TFD office for events related to the Fellow’s research (with permission from the TFD on a case-by-case basis)
- Access to the TFD’s collection of research materials
- Access to the TFD’s network of scholars
- Assistance in making contact with persons relevant to the Fellow’s research when necessary
- TFD business cards
The TFD staff provides assistance and remembers that the TFD is not responsible for coordinating its Fellows’ research projects. Fellowship applicants who are ultimately granted fellowships typically have clear project plans have done background research on their topic before applying and are ready to begin their projects.
Deadline: 28 February 2012
