The JSPS Postdoctoral Fellowship in Japan is a prestigious program designed to promote international research collaboration by inviting promising young researchers from around the world to conduct advanced research at Japanese universities and research institutions. Supported by the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS), the fellowship aims to foster global academic exchange and enhance the research capabilities of both the fellows and their Japanese hosts. Fellows work closely with a host researcher in Japan, gaining access to world-class facilities and contributing to cutting-edge projects.

This fellowship typically lasts for 12 to 24 months and is open to researchers in all fields of the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences. The program not only provides generous financial support but also offers a unique opportunity to experience Japanese culture and build lasting professional networks. The JSPS Postdoctoral Fellowship is highly competitive and recognized as a significant stepping stone for early-career researchers seeking to advance their academic careers on an international stage.

Applicants must hold a doctoral degree (PhD) or expect to receive one before the fellowship starts.
Must be a citizen of a country that has diplomatic relations with Japan (excluding Japanese nationals and permanent residents).
Must be invited by a host researcher or institution in Japan.
Should have a strong academic and research background.
Must apply within six years of receiving their doctoral degree.

Identify and contact a suitable host researcher or institution in Japan willing to support your application.
Prepare a joint research proposal with your host.
Submit your application through the host institution or via a nominating authority (such as AUN-SEC) in your home country, following JSPS guidelines.
Complete all required forms and upload supporting documents as specified.
Await the selection results and respond to any additional requests from JSPS or your host.
