Japan Relations Postdoctoral Fellowship

The Reischauer Institute of Japanese Studies at Harvard University's Weatherhead Center for International Affairs is pleased to offer a postdoctoral fellowship in Japan relations. This prestigious award supports outstanding recent PhDs in the social sciences who are conducting research that illuminates Japan's relations with the rest of the world.

About the Fellowship

The postdoctoral fellowship is a twelve-month appointment, in residence in the Boston area, that begins in either August or September. The award includes a stipend of $70,000, eligibility for university subsidized health insurance coverage, and up to $5,000 for research and travel funds. Fellows will be provided a shared office space, as well as access to the libraries and resources of Harvard University.

Research Focus

We welcome applications from scholars who are conducting research that examines Japan's relations with the rest of the world in the broadest sense.
