Recruitment Notice

SG Academies South-East Asia Fellowship (SASEAF) Programme

The SASEAF Programme aims to attract bright postgraduate researchers from South-East Asia to Singapore research institutions for a 2 year long postdoctoral fellowship. The programme is administered by three academies in Singapore - the Singapore National Academy of Science (SNAS), together with the Academy of Medicine Singapore (AMS), and the Academy of Engineering Singapore (AES) - and is funded by the National Research Foundation (NRF). It involves the participating host institutions (including Singapore universities and research institutions such as A*STAR) and candidates aligning to agreed fields of research (science, medicine, engineering, and computer science).

A monthly stipend ranging from S$4000 to 6500 will be provided. The exact figure will depend on the experience and performance of the Fellow. An additional S$4000 will be provided for overseas travel during the 2 year long fellowship period. Fellows will also gain access to professional development opportunities (events, seminars and training programmes) and opportunities to learn more about Singapore. This will help to foster stronger ties between SASEA Fellows and Singapore. 

Please submit the online application before 30 Nov 2021

For more information and application procedure, please visit:
