FASS Visiting Fellowships

Isaac Manasseh Meyer Fellowship

The Isaac Manasseh Meyer Fellowship (IMMF) was instituted in 1984, following a generous grant from the Isaac Manasseh Meyer Foundation to support research fellowships tenable at the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences.

The Fellowships are intended to provide opportunities for academics specializing in any area of arts and social sciences to visit and spend time at the Faculty, conducting research and giving lectures and seminars. Fellows are expected to engage in collaborative research with faculty members. The typical duration of IMMF is 21 days or less.

Eligibility

The IMMF scheme is open to scholars (usually beyond Post-doctoral level) in any area of the humanities and social sciences. Priority will be given to those who can contribute to the strategic areas of research of the Faculty with collaborative projects or projects leading to a major grant proposal. Please visit the websites of the Departments, Programmes and CLS (see list at the bottom of this page) for information on the Faculty's research foci.

Visiting fellows are to be nominated by a FASS faculty member or a team of faculty members to a Department/Programme/Centre in FASS. The IMMF Call will be internally circulated to FASS faculty members through email.

Financial Assistance

The award is non-renewable. The University will provide a single lump sum payment to the visiting fellow, calculated based on the following:

  • Nett return airfare via the most direct and economical route;
  • Per diem of S$100 per day;
  • Accommodation of up to S$250 per night.

Please note that this lump-sum payment may be subject to withholding tax for foreign visiting professionals, which is to be borne by the visiting fellow. For more information, please visit the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore website (http://www.iras.gov.sg).
