The European Science Foundation (Strasbourg, France) invites applications
for 
6 POST-DOCTORAL FELLOWSHIPS AND ONE VISITING PROFESSORSHIP IN ASIAN
STUDIES.

These posts are funded by the governments of France, the Netherlands, and
the Nordic countries; applications will be considered by the ESF Asia
Committee.

From Autumn 1995 the fellowships are tenable for one to three years: 3 at
the ECOLE FRANCAISE d'EXTREME ORIENT, Paris; 3 at other European
institutions (such as the INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTE FOR ASIAN STUDIES
Leiden); and the professorship at the NORDIC INSTITUTE FOR ASIAN STUDIES,
Copenhagen.

The fellowships are intended for outstanding young scholars holding a PhD
or comparable qualification in any field of Asian Studies, who are at the
beginning of their academic career, and wish to continue, broaden, or
deepen their research in a country other than the applicant's own.
The professorship is intended for highly qualified candidates.

Interdisciplinary research is particularly encouraged. The fellowships are
open to applicants from all European countries and to others who have a
well-established relationship with a European research institution.

The disciplinary and geographical scope of the ESF Asia Committee covers
the study (ancient and modern, humanities, and social sciences) of the
languages, cultures, societies, and economies of South, Central, Southeast,
and East Asia.

Salary according to age and experience. Renumeration will follow the system
of the host institution. A contribution towards cost of travel will be
provided.

Application form (returnable by MAY 1995 at the latest) and further
