The Japan Society for the Promotion of Science offers various opportunities to conduct research in Japan.
The JSPS Summer Program is for graduate students and postdocs. It
provides a round-trip plane ticket, travel insurance, maintenance
allowance, research travel allowance, and research allowance for a
10-week summer program. In the US, you apply for this through the NSF’s
EAPSI program. Consequently, only research in NSF-funded disciplines is
eligible. This program has about a 33% success rate. Application
deadline: November 8, 2012
The JSPS Short-Term Postdoctoral Fellowship Program offers grad
students and post-doctoral researchers in any field , including the
humanities, the chance to spend 1-12 months conducting research in
Japan. (Since grad students are eligible, the name of
the program is something of a misnomer.) The program offers a
round-trip plane ticket, travel insurance, a maintenance allowance, a
settling-in allowance, and research support allowance. To apply, either
have your host researcher in Japan submit an application for you, or
apply through JSPS’s Washington, DC, office . Those in appropriate
disciplines can apply through the NIH or the SSRC. This program has
about a 30% success rate. Application deadline: varies, but as early as
November 16, 2012
The JSPS Postdoctoral Fellowship Program offers postdoctoral
scholars in any field , including the humanities, the chance to spend
12-24 months conducting research in Japan. The fellowship includes a
round-trip plane ticket, travel insurance, a maintenance allowance, a
settling-in allowance, and a grant-in-aid for scientific research. To
apply, have your host research in Japan submit an application for you,
or those in
appropriate disciplines can apply through the NIH or the SSRC. This
program has about a 15% success rate. Application deadline: varies, but
as early as December 1, 2012
Although it is not required, JSPS
suggests that applicants first complete a summer program, then do the
short-term postdoc program, and finally apply for the full postdoc
fellowship, so that in the end, they have a strong working relationship
with Japanese researchers.
