About this position

Call for applications: the 2026 ASEAN-Korea Young Scholar Research Grant (YSRG) from the Korean Association of Southeast Asian Studies (KASEAS) under the ASEAN-Korea Platform for Great Minds (AKPGM).

This grant supports postgraduate researchers from ASEAN Member States and the Republic of Korea who are currently enrolled in a Master’s or doctoral programme. It is designed for fieldwork-based research in Southeast Asian Studies, ASEAN Studies, or ASEAN-Korea Studies, with emphasis on Southeast Asian societies, regional issues, and ASEAN-Korea relations.

Funding includes round-trip international airfare for approved fieldwork, a monthly fieldwork stipend of USD 1,400 for up to three months, honoraria of USD 200 for local research advisors, and participation in an online Young Scholar Research Workshop.

Eligibility highlights: applicants must be nationals of an ASEAN Member State or the Republic of Korea; proposals should be academically strong, original, feasible, and relevant to the grant’s regional focus. Priority is given to applicants enrolled at institutions in their home countries and to projects that study Southeast Asia beyond the applicant’s own national context. Purely technical, laboratory-based, or exclusively STEM projects are not eligible unless they clearly integrate social science or humanities perspectives.

Required documents include a research proposal, host institution introduction (fieldwork site), CV, certificate of enrollment, and academic transcript. Apply via the online form by 5 September 2026.
