It is also at the forefront of capacity-building initiatives in the Asia-Pacific region through workshops, conferences, training sessions, and academic programmes that engage a diverse audience of government and private sector professionals as well as academics.

CIL is inviting applications for Post-Doctoral Fellowship positions commencing in October - November 2026. Initial appointments will be for one year, with the possibility of extension to a second year contingent upon satisfactory progress during the first year.

Applications are open to prospective fellows with research projects in all areas of international law. Special consideration will be given to projects with relevance to the Asia Pacific region, to Climate Change and all areas of ASEAN Law and Policy.

Preference will be accorded to candidates aspiring to pursue an academic career, as the programme is specifically designed to support such aspirations. Alongside specialized mentoring, Fellows will have opportunities to participate in workshops which involves all aspects of academic life, including research design, writing, teaching and examination, publication strategies, supervision, and enhancing methodological skills.

The program is directed by Dr. Nilufer Oral, Director of CIL and member of the International Law Commission, as well as Professor Joseph Weiler who holds a regular visiting appointment at NUS.

Qualifications

The selection committee will consider the following criteria in making appointments:

  1. Applicants must possess a doctoral degree in international law obtained within the past 2 years. Doctoral students expecting to defend their dissertation no later than 31 August 2026 may also apply.

  3. Three letters of reference are required, one of which, ideally, would be from the PhD Supervisor and/or a member of the examining committee. The reference letters should be sent confidentially directly to NUS Career Portal by the application deadline and must address to the scholarly contribution of the dissertation and an appraisal of the proposed research project as well as the applicant's potential to conduct high-quality research.

Why it works

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
