Applications are open for the\u00a0JSPS-UNU Postdoctoral Fellowship Programme 2026. UNU offers Postdoctoral Fellowships to provide young scholars and policymakers, especially from the developing world, with a multidisciplinary context within which to pursue advanced research and training that are of professional interest to the successful applicant and of direct relevance to the research agenda of their selected thematic programme.<\/p>\n

Since the start of the Fellowship Programme at UNU-IAS in 1996, more than 250 young researchers \u2014 70% of whom are from the developing world \u2014 have benefited from collaboration with UNU and Japanese scholars.<\/p>\n

Programme Details<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jointly organized by the UNU and the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS), the JSPS\u2013UNU Postdoctoral Fellowship Programme is designed to provide promising, highly qualified young researchers with the opportunity to conduct advanced research in sustainability under host researchers at domestic universities and research institutions across Japan in cooperation with UNU-IAS.<\/p>\n

This fellowship is aimed at candidates who have completed their doctorates in the past six years (with the period of maternity\/paternity leave subtracted) and have professional and\/or research experience. UNU-IAS Tokyo acts as the nominating authority for the JSPS\u2013UNU Postdoctoral Fellowship Programme. Nominated fellows will be considered members of their host institutions and are required to carry out their research under the supervision of their host researcher. It is possible for fellows to conduct research at UNU-IAS if mutually agreed upon by the host university.<\/p>\n

Research Areas<\/strong><\/p>\n

Under this programme, fellows are expected to conduct research in one of the thematic areas listed below under the supervision of the host researcher. The proposed research must be policy-relevant and incorporate gender issues within the research agenda.<\/p>\n
