About this opportunity

The JSPS Postdoctoral Fellowships programme enables researchers in Switzerland to conduct postdoctoral research stays in Japan for 12 to 24 months. The Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) acts as the nomination body for these fellowships offered by the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS). In 2026, the SNSF can propose two researchers to the JSPS for consideration. Researchers must be based at a Swiss research institution at the moment of submission. After evaluation by the SNSF, the JSPS will evaluate the nominated applications and inform candidates about funding decisions by summer 2026. Selected researchers must commence their stays at the latest on 30 November 2026.
