Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) provides opportunities for pre-/post-doctoral researchers from other countries to conduct cooperative research under the guidance of their hosts with leading research groups in universities and other Japanese institutions. It aims to support an overseas researcher’s progress in his/her research as well as to promote academic exchange between Japan and countries in Europe and the U.S.
Candidates must have obtained their doctoral degree within six years of the date the fellowship goes into effect.
