About Centre for Strategic and International Studies
The Resident Fellowship (or Visiting Fellowship) program is primarily designed to support students who are in the process of completing their PhD theses, though it is not limited to this group. Opportunities for post-doctoral researchers or non-degree fellows are also available.
The Non-Resident Fellowship is an exclusive program tailored for distinguished individuals seeking to engage with our Centre on a flexible, non-residential basis. Fellows contribute their expertise to ongoing research, offering valuable insights and collaborating remotely with our team. This fellowship is available by invitation only.
CSIS can provide the following for visiting fellows:
- Office space (subject to availability)
- Access to library and other physical facilities

Visiting fellows are required to fulfill the following responsibilities:
- Visiting fellows will be subject to administrative fees to cover meals and use of Internet and printers
- Visiting fellows are required to give at least one presentation relevant to their research topic during their stay in CSIS. This exercise will further encourage exchanges of views between the respected fellow and researchers or other scholars in CSIS. Detailed arrangement of the seminar can be made with CSIS staff
- Visiting fellows are required to be based in CSIS while conducting their fellowship. Should they need to conduct research-related activities outside of CSIS, these have to be consulted with the fellowship coordinator
