| 1. | Description of the Programme
There are three categories under our Fellowship Programme. All three give the opportunity to academics and other professionals at Ph.D level and above to visit Japan to pursue research in the Japanese studies field. The programme is not open to undergraduates or to MA candidates. As a rule, a named affiliate in Japan is required at the time of application. The Fellowship comprises airfare, stipend to cover living expenses and other allowances. The three categories are:
1. Scholars and Researchers
For academics working in the field of Japanese studies, the humanities and the social sciences. Duration of Fellowship: from (no less than) 2 months to (no longer than) 12 months.
2. Doctoral Candidates
For candidates who are in the closing stages of their Ph.D. and who need to undertake fieldwork in Japan in order to complete their dissertation/thesis. Proof at the time of application that all other necessary requirements, bar completion of the thesis, have been fulfilled for the award of the Ph.D is needed from the candidate’s supervisor.
Duration of Fellowship: from (no less than) 4 months to (no longer than) 14 months.
3. Short-term Researchers
For academics working in the field of Japanese studies, the humanities and the social sciences requiring a short, intensive research period.
Duration of Fellowship: from (no less than) 21 to (no longer than) 60 days.
The Fellowship Programme is open to UK and EU nationals or to non-UK/EU nationals who have permanent residency in the UK. UK applications should be made to the London office.
Applicants who do not come under the above categories may apply direct to the Tokyo Office as long as their country of origin has diplomatic relations with Japan. Please see our funding for further details.
