Name:

Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS): Postdoctoral Fellowships for Foreign Researchers

Purpose:

The Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) Fellowship Program provides recent PhD recipients and ABDs (please see program eligibility requirements) with opportunities to conduct research in Japan under the leadership of a host researcher. Fellows are encouraged to advance their own research and at the same time closely collaborate with young Japanese researchers and contribute to Japanese research communities.

Field:

Applications are welcome from all social science and humanities disciplines and need not be explicitly related to the study of Japan. Projects must include work with colleagues and resources in Japan and propose a single, continuous stay in Japan from 1 to 12 months (short-term) or 1 to 2 years (long-term).

Eligibility:

Applicants must be US citizens or permanent residents at the time of application and submit proof of affiliation with an eligible host research institution in Japan as part of the application packet. Permanent residents must provide a copy of a permanant resident card ("green card"). Citizens of other countries are eligible for short-term fellowships if they have completed a master's or PhD course at an institution of higher education in the U.S. and, upon completing the course, have for at least three continuous years conducted high-level research at a university in the U.S. Priority will be given to researchers who are not Japanese citizens. JSPS does not extend fellowships to scholars employed in the institutions under jurisdiction of the U.S. Department of Defense. Scholars who have previously received funding from JSPS for 12 months or longer are not eligible to apply for JSPS fellowships.
