Overview
The Toshiba Fellowship Programme offers outstanding scientists an annual opportunity to apply to join Toshiba's research and development laboratories in Japan for up to two years, on a Research Fellowship Contract. The Toshiba Fellowship Programme is a unique opportunity for recently qualified PhD level scientists, mainly from science, computing and mathematics disciplines. It offers a chance to journey alongside Toshiba into innovation, discovering a new world of research and development, as well as exploring and living a new cultural experience in Japan.
Toshiba Fellows nurture cross-cultural understanding between the UK, Europe and Japan whilst benefiting from working in our highly innovative and research-centred organisation, in a country renowned for its world class technology. Every Toshiba Fellow has a real possibility to contribute to our future technologies. Participating in our scheme leads to both career development and personal growth.
The Programme has successfully operated for over 25 years, enjoying a strong and long-running collaboration with the EPSRC (Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council) as well as fostering and developing the relationship between Japanese industry and UK academia. The successful Fellow receives a generous package, including relocation assistance to and from Japan, together with support and advice prior to and during their stay.

■ Be a PhD-level researcher
■ Be of EU nationality
■ Be based in a UK academic or Government institution at the time of application (studying or working)
■ Have no more than 10 year's post-Doctoral experience

Look at the current year's research topics and register your interest online by completing the initial application questions.

What would the job be like?
Toshiba's Corporate R&D Center is based in the city of Kawasaki, Japan's prosperous 'Silicon Valley'.
As one of Japan's leading industrial cities, Kawasaki plays host to the advanced R&D operations of many major computer and electronics companies. Situated on the coast between Tokyo and Yokohama, Kawasaki has a population of 1.2 million and is a mere 20 minutes from Tokyo by train.
Toshiba Fellows usually remain in their team for up to two years. The type of work carried out depends mainly on which team the Fellow joins and the research project area. A normal working day is standard eight hours, Monday to Friday. So that they can settle in and feel at home in their work and a new country, Toshiba assigns a mentor to assist the Fellow in and outside of the workplace.
Japan offers something for everyone, from the bustling action of Tokyo to the peaceful walks of East Kyoto. Shopping areas abound, as do places of cultural interest such as museums and temples. There are also many places for entertainment - try Shinjuku to experience everything from noodle bars to shrines! There are also many outdoor attractions, including Mount Fuji, Japan's highest mountain (3,776m). The Daisetsuzan National Park, located in Hokkaido, is well worth visiting. Covering 1432 square miles, with mountain groups, volcanoes, lakes and forests, it's the perfect environment for relaxing, hiking and skiing.
What would my stay be like?
Fellows usually join their small research team in the Spring, and stay for up to two years. Toshiba Fellows are always offered a choice between Toshiba company accommodation or private accommodation. Toshiba supports the Fellow with advice and support to find whichever home they will feel most happy in during their stay in Japan.
Toshiba Fellows work in one of the Toshiba research labs in Tokyo. The Toshiba Corporate R&D Center (RDC) is based in Kawasaki, Japan's prosperous 'Silicon Valley', located just 20 minutes from Tokyo city centre by train. Kawasaki is the prime location for advanced R&D operations for many multi-national computer and electronics companies.
As a Toshiba Fellow, you could regularly enjoy a diverse mix of cultural and leisure pursuits. There is a whole new world of temples, shrines, food, museums, theatres and shopping to discover. Peaceful lakes and shrines in Nikko are simply beautiful during the Autumn season. Japan's land area of 145,914 square miles covers a diverse geography of mountains, lakes, hot springs, forests and islands. It is the perfect environment to relax or enjoy something more active - whatever takes your fancy!
REGISTER YOUR INTEREST NOW! The Toshiba Fellowship Programme 2010 is open for applications from Tuesday 01 September 2009 through to Friday 11 December 2009 inclusive.
