CALL FOR NOMINATIONS AND APPLICATIONS

The Bernard Schwartz Fellows Program

The Bernard Schwartz Fellows Program seeks to contribute to a better
understanding of policy challenges and opportunities related to the
growing importance of Asia in the international political arena and global
economy. The program selects highly qualified professionals to serve as
resident Fellows at Asia Society¹s headquarters in New York City or its
office in Washington, D.C. for up to one year. During the course of their
residencies, Fellows direct a major and original policy project of their
own design, including writing a policy relevant publication for Asia
Society.

Additionally, Asia Society relies on Fellows to provide in-house expertise
via the media. Opportunities to present their work and/or participate in
panel discussions, conferences, and other events at the Society¹s Centers
in the United States and Asia are also arranged. In these ways, Fellows
play an important role in the Society's mission of promoting policy
dialogue and public education on Asia.

The application process is highly competitive. Candidates are drawn from
the fields of government, academia, journalism, business, and civil
society. Nominations are by invitation or by application. The defining
qualifications for Bernard Schwartz Fellows are a solid record of
distinction, a soundly conceived project proposal with clear policy
relevance, and a commitment to engaging the policy community and the
broader public. The Program does not fund pre- or postdoctoral research or
work toward a degree. A minimum of 10 years of experience is required;
this is a senior level position.

Asia Society is reaching out to our supporters as we seek nominations and
applications for the 2012-13 Bernard Schwartz Fellows Program
(Spring/Summer 2012 to Summer 2013). Interested applicants who meet the
profile and qualifications outlined above should send a cover letter, a
detailed curriculum vitae, and project proposal to Johan Kharabi at
globalpolicy at asiasociety.org with the subject line ³2012 Bernard Schwartz
Fellow Application.²
