The British Academy, on behalf of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, invites applications for its postdoctoral fellowships for overseas researchers. These enable early-career researchers to conduct cooperative research in Japan with leading research groups in Japanese universities and other institutions, under the guidance of a Japanese host. Research is supported in all fields of the humanities and social sciences.
Applicants must be ordinarily resident in the UK, the Isle of Man or the Channel Islands, and be within six years of the award of their doctorate degree when the fellowship takes effect. All applicants must in advance have arranged a research plan with a Japanese host researcher, employed at a Japanese university or research institution.
Fellowships are tenable from one to two years and provide a round-trip air ticket, a monthly maintenance stipend worth JPY 362,000, a settling-in allowance of JPY 200,000 and a research grant.
