The International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) is an eminent independent authority on security issues offering factual analysis, conducting outstanding strategic research and organizing major intergovernmental conferences.
The IISS Shangri-La Dialogue is the Asia-Pacific’s premier security conference. The IISS is seeking to appoint outstanding specialists to two newly created Shangri-La Dialogue Senior Fellowships in Asia-Pacific Security, with headquarters in London and with offices in Singapore, Bahrain and Washington DC. Based at the IISS–Asia office in Singapore, these positions will be for a four-year fixed term, with the possibility of renewal.
The ideas originate from the Senior Fellows’ published research, and the workshops and other meetings that they organize which will help to ensure that the Shangri-La Dialogue even more directly meets the needs of Asia-Pacific policymakers.
The Shangri-La Dialogue Senior Fellows will be exceptional analysts with outstanding writing and presentational skills, and professional knowledge of Asia-Pacific security issues obtained through high-level academic, think-tank, government or media experience. They will have an entrepreneurial approach to research activity. Knowledge of a major Asian language would be an advantage. Post-holder(s) will also provide authoritative specialist briefings for expert audiences including government and corporate leaders. The Shangri-La Dialogue Senior Fellows will be based in Singapore but will be expected to travel frequently within Asia, and to IISS events throughout the world.
The salary and benefits will be set at a level to attract the best candidates internationally, and will be determined on the basis of background and experience. The IISS intends to make these appointments by October 2012.
The deadline for receipt of applications is 31st July 2012.
