Overview
The JSPS Postdoctoral Fellowship Program for Foreign Researchers provides opportunities to young postdoctoral researchers from other countries to conduct, under the guidance of their hosts, cooperative research with leading research groups in universities and other Japanese institutions. The program aims to help such researchers advance their own research while contributing to the advancement of research in Japan and the counterpart countries.
The Royal Society is a nominating authority for this scheme and aims to support excellent researchers from the UK gain experience overseas and create strong collaborative links with Japan.
Subjects Covered:
The research undertaken must be on a subject within the natural sciences, including: physics, chemistry, mathematics, computer science, engineering science, agricultural and medical research (non-clinical only). Applications in the social sciences are not accepted by the Royal Society; please contact the British Academy for nominations in this field.
Length of Tenure: JSPS will provide funding for visits of between 12 months minimum and up to 24 months maximum.
Value of Grant:
The JSPS fellowship includes:
- Subsistence – 362,000 yen per month.
- A settling-in allowance at the start of the Fellowship of 200,000 yen
- A return air ticket (based on JSPS regulations)
- Overseas travel accident and sickness insurance coverage
- A research grant of up to 1,500,000 yen per year ("Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research" applied for separately by the Japanese hosts)
Eligible Candidates
Applicants must hold a doctorate degree when the Fellowship goes into effect, which must have been received within six years prior to 1 April 2011 (i.e. awarded on or after 2 April 2005). Scientists in the final year of their PhD can submit an application. If successful, the award will only be given subject to the confirmation of his/her PhD at the time when the award is taken up.
Applicants must be UK or EU citizens resident in the UK at the time of application. Candidates for the fellowship programme should identify and contact a Japanese host scientist who is willing to support their fellowship; substantial contact between host and applicant prior to the application is essential. This contact should lead to a clearly defined and mutually-beneficial research proposal.
Those who have previously been awarded a fellowship under the JSPS Postdoctoral Fellowship Programme for Foreign Researchers (excluding the Postdoctoral Fellowship Programme (Short Term Award) for North American and European Researchers and the Summer Programme) are not eligible.
Application Closing Date: 01 March 2011
Closing Information: Round opens for applications on 25 January 2011 and closes on 1 March 2011
