SNSF Call for Applications: JSPS Postdoctoral Fellowships 2023
For a number of years, the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) has acted as the nomination body for the Postdoctoral Fellowships of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS). In 2023, the SNSF can propose two researchers to the JSPS Postdoctoral Fellowships 2021 for research in Japan which enables researchers in Switzerland to stay in Japan for 12 to 24 months. The selected researchers must commence their stays at the latest on 30 November 2023.
Purpose:
To provide opportunities for excellent postdoctoral researchers from other countries to conduct, under the guidance of their 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.
Eligibility:
- Be a citizen of a country that has diplomatic relations with Japan. (JSPS treats Taiwanese and Palestinian researchers in this manner.)
- Have obtained their doctoral degree within six years of the date the fellowship goes into effect (on or after 2 April 2017).
Terms of Award:
The amounts of the Awards are as follows. They are subject to change for budgetary reasons.
- Airfare: A round-trip air ticket (based on JSPS’s regulations)
- Maintenance Allowance: ¥362,000 per month
- Miscellaneous: A settling-in allowance of ¥200,000, overseas travel insurance.
