The Interdisciplinary Centre for East Asian Studies (IZO) offers Fellowships for a duration of between one and three months to highly qualified external researchers. We welcome unsolicited applications as well as nominations from the extended governing board of the IZO.

Specific criteria for consideration and acceptance as an IZO Fellow are:

• Relevant research related to East Asia in a field pertinent to the work of the IZO
• Quality and relevance of the research project to be pursued under the IZO Fellowship
• Significant contribution to one of the main research areas of the IZO
• Thematic relevance to, or collaboration on, an ongoing or prospective IZO research project
• Potential contribution to networking in the East Asian academic community

The primary purpose of the Fellowship is generally speaking to allow work on an individual time-limited research project which during the time spent in Frankfurt or immediately afterwards will lead to a publication in one of the IZO publication series. In addition, every Fellow is obliged to give a public lecture organised by, or with the assistance of, the IZO. Fellows will be present in Frankfurt during the entire duration of the Fellowship and will make themselves available for regular communication with the IZO. If it is required by the  IZO, a Fellowship may be awarded that facilitates primarily the collaboration on an ongoing or prospective joint research project and which does not necessarily result in a publication.

Detailed applications with reference to the above criteria and with a precise outline of a research project should be submitted to izo@uni-frankfurt.de.
