The Australian Academy of Science invites applications from Australian early-career researchers for the 2025 Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) Postdoctoral Fellowships. Fellowships are awarded for a period of between 12 and 24 full months and include:
- a round-trip air ticket (based on JSPS regulations)
- a monthly maintenance allowance of ¥362,000
- a settling-in allowance of ¥200,000 for eligible recipients
- overseas travel accident and sickness insurance coverage.
The JSPS Postdoctoral Fellowships for Research in Japan provide opportunities for Australian postdoctoral researchers to conduct cooperative research with leading research groups in universities and other Japanese institutions, under the guidance of their Japanese hosts. The program aims to help such researchers advance their own work, while contributing to the advancement of research in Japan and the counterpart countries.
Applications are invited from suitably qualified researchers in any field of the physical sciences, life sciences, engineering, technology, and medicine, with preferred areas of research listed on the Academy’s application webpage.
Applications close 9 AM (AEDT) Monday 4 November 2024.
