Dear all,

 

Thank you for your ongoing support and collaboration with HKUST and the IAS.

 

I am very pleased to announce the launch of a new IAS Junior Fellow
program intended to support the most talented young scholars
independent of discipline for a fixed term of 3 years.  IAS Junior
Fellows will be fully supported by the IAS to pursue their research
and scholarship unfettered by other responsibilities and distractions.

 

The program is designed with an aim to foster research and creative
activity at HKUST/IAS at the highest level across a range of
disciplines.  3-year Junior Fellowships allow young scholars to devote
their full attention to research in support of their personal growth
and creative goals.

 

We are seeking nominations of the brightest young researchers
internationally.  Candidates should be near the beginning of their
career (within 5 years of having received a PhD or equivalent degree)
and show exceptional promise.  We aspire to host Junior Fellows who
are of highest caliber in their cohort with clear potential for
further significant accomplishments and leadership in their scholarly
endeavors.

 

Junior Fellows will be supported with a competitive stipend, in
addition to a generous fund at their disposal for their travel and
research.  The IAS will strive to provide the best support and the
most favorable environment for Junior Fellows to conduct their
research.  Details can be found on this webpage:
http://ias.ust.hk/juniorfellows/ .

 

I am grateful for your assistance in identifying outstanding
candidates, and welcome nominations from you and your colleagues.  I
would also greatly appreciate you sharing this announcement with
friends and colleagues, and any other help in getting the word out you
may be able to provide.

 

Thank you very much and I wish you a successful year in research!

 

Yours sincerely,
