JSPS Postdoctoral Fellowships for Research in Japan - Short-term (PE)

The JSPS Postdoctoral Fellowship for Research in Japan (Short-term PE) provides PhD students or PhD researchers in Europe and North America with opportunities to conduct collaborative research under the guidance of their hosts in universities and other Japanese institutions for a relatively short period of time. A person who has never engaged in research at universities in Japan would be most preferable. The program aims to support an overseas researcher's progress in their research as well as to promote academic exchange between Japan and countries in Europe and North America. The selection process is conducted through two distinct channels: Open Calls (beginning with applications from the heads of Japanese universities or research institutions wishing to invite foreign researchers) and Nominations (through recommendations from overseas nominating authorities). The program offers support for research stays of 1 to 12 months across all fields of the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences.
