We are seeking to appoint two Masters or PhD graduates to 12-month, funded fellowships that will begin in October 2023. 

Each Fellow will conduct a major research project on the issues driving change across Asia and the Middle East. Their research will be published and distributed by Asia House to its wide network of senior business and policy figures and will inform the Asia House programme of engagement with global leaders.

Applications are invited for original research which will drive forward the debate shaping global trade. The research will ideally fall under one of the following broad categories:

• Energy and sustainability

Fellows will receive research support, a mentorship scheme and leadership advice, alongside the opportunity to be part of Asia House’s renowned business and policy programme and build professional contacts across our network. Fellows will also receive a stipend of circa £24,000.
