Short-term postdoctoral fellowship opportunity with the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science

The Triangle Center for Japanese Studies has been appointed as a nominator for the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) short-term fellowship program. The Center will gather and nominate the most promising Triangle-based applications for consideration by the JSPS review board.

At least one application from the Research Triangle is guaranteed to be reviewed by the final committee at the JSPS headquarters.

The short-term fellowship program “provides PhD students or PhD researchers in Europe and North America with opportunities to conduct collaborative research under the guidance of their hosts in universities and other Japanese institutions for a relatively short period of time. A person who has never engaged in research at universities etc. in Japan would be most preferable.”
