JSPS Postdoctoral Fellowship for Overseas Researchers aims to provide opportunities for young and excellent postdoctoral researchers from other countries to conduct, under the guidance of their Japanese hosts, cooperative research with leading research groups in universities and other Japanese institutions. The program allows such researchers to advance their own research while contributing to the progress of research in Japan and the counterpart countries. Applications for this program are submitted by host researchers in Japan who wish to host overseas postdoctoral fellows.
Application Periods for FY2016
1st Recruitment: August 31, 2015 – September 4, 2015
2nd Recruitment: April 26, 2016 – May 6, 2016
(JSPS accepts applications only through Japanese host researchers’ universities.)
Notes: The date noted above is the submission deadline for the Japanese host researchers’ universities. Applicants must send their application documents to their prospective Japanese host researchers well in advance of their deadline. (As some universities have their own deadline, candidates should consult their prospective Japanese host researchers with regard to the time frame.)
