Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS)
Postdoctoral Fellowship Program (Short-term) for North American and European Researchers 2014-2015
The purpose of the program is to provide opportunities to young and excellent pre-/post-doctoral researchers from the US, Canada and Europe to conduct, under the guidance of their hosts, cooperative research with leading research groups in universities and other Japanese institutions. In so doing, the program is designed to help advance the research of the visiting fellows, while augmenting opportunities for young researchers to come to Japan from the US, Canada and Europe.
Applications for this program are submitted by a host researcher in Japan who wishes to host a foreign postdoctoral fellow.
All fields of the humanities, social sciences and natural sciences are included under this program.
