The OBHR group at Singapore Management University?s Lee Kong Chian School of Business is
planning to award up to three Lim Kim San Fellowships for PhD students who do research in the area
of leadership, broadly defined (that is, topics relevant to leaders, including, but not limited to,
decision making, negotiation, justice, trust, and others). The ideal applicant will have successfully
completed coursework and show great promise as a researcher.
The successful applicant(s) will carry the title Lim Kim San Fellow and will be an integral part of our
very collegial OBHR group. Fellows will receive sufficient support to cover reasonable airfare and
accommodation expenses, as well as a per diem to cover daily living expenses. If required, a limited
amount of research funding is available. Fellows will have access to our group?s subject pool, the
school?s Behavioral Lab, and the university?s online survey system. Singapore is an interesting place
for cross-cultural research. Singapore also has a large number of expatriates that could be tapped
into for research in this area.
Interested students may direct their questions to the program coordinator, Layne Paddock, at
elpaddock@smu.edu.sg, or to any OBHR faculty member they would like to work with during their
visit (i.e., their faculty host). Interested candidates should send a cover letter, CV, short proposal,
sample publications, and a minimum of two reference letters) to Layne Paddock (c/o Farah Binti
Mohamed Iqbal) electronically to
farahbmi@smu.edu.sg. Short Proposals should describe what
research and other activities students would like to undertake as Lim Kim San Fellows, the duration
they would like to spend at SMU, the SMU OBHR faculty they would like to collaborate with, as well as
any additional relevant materials. Review of materials will begin August 15, 2012 and continue until
positions are filled.
