The Walter H. Shorenstein Asia-Pacific Research Center (Shorenstein APARC) in the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies at Stanford University is pleased to announce a Postdoctoral Fellowship in Asian Health Policy for 2011-2012. The Postdoctoral Fellow will participate in the Center's Asia Health Policy Program while completing his or her own research on contemporary health or healthcare in two or more countries of the Asia-Pacific, including the social and economic implications of population aging. We welcome applications from junior scholars (Ph.D. conferred after 2008 and by August 30, 2011)) from a variety of disciplines, such as demography, sociology, political science, economics, anthropology, public policy, law, health services research and related fields.

Stipend

The Fellowship carries a stipend between $40,000 and $45,000 depending on experience, with $2500 for research expenses. The Fellow will be expected to be in residence for at least three academic quarters, beginning fall 2011. He or she is required to present research findings in a Center seminar and to release at least one working paper in the AHPP working paper series on health and demographic change in the Asia-Pacific (http://asiahealthpolicy.stanford.edu/publications/list/0/0/4/). The Fellow may participate in other activities at the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies, such as the weekly Research in Progress Seminars at the Center for Health Policy
