U.S.-Japan Program Advanced Research Fellowships, USA

Overview

A few postdoctoral fellowships are offered each year by the Program on U.S.-Japan Relations for the study of issues in U.S.-Japan relations, Japan’s relations with other countries, and domestic issues that bear on Japan’s international behavior.

Awards and Benefits

The postdoctoral stipend is $44,000 plus health insurance. U.S.-Japan Advanced Research Fellows are offered shared office space at the Center and access to Harvard facilities.

Eligibility

1.Candidates must hold a doctoral or other terminal degree in a discipline bearing on the Program’s research areas. Research projects that focus on Japan or Japan’s international role from a comparative, historical, or global perspective are welcome. A knowledge of the Japanese language is not required.

2.Because a major aim of the fellowship is to provide talented researchers based outside Japan with an opportunity to carry on a dialogue with the Japanese scholars, officials, businesspeople, and journalists who join the Program each year, preference will be given to non-Japanese.

Terms

Advanced Research Fellows reside at the Center and, in addition to their own work, participate in the activities of the Program on U.S.-Japan Relations and teach one course in an FAS department.


The Application Process

1.Submit a curriculum vitae and the application form along with one or two short sample publications (preferably publications relevant to the proposed research).
2.Submit letters of recommendation from three people, at least one of whom is based in the United States, who are knowledgeable about the applicant's scholarly work.
3.Brief statement (up to a page) on your teaching interests, and on your ideas about a few undergraduate courses you might teach, with a sentence or two on how you might approach each if you were to offer it. In addition, we are especially open to courses in the social sciences that are framed more broadly and that are not limited to Japan. (e.g., Environment and Public Policy; War Memory; Gender and Culture; Industrial and Postindustrial East Asia; Urban Worlds in Asia; East Asia in the International Political Economy.) Applicants are encouraged to list several course titles, in the event that their preferred topic does not correspond with departmental priorities. Successful applicants will be asked to submit course descriptions at a later date.
