Applicants must be citizens of countries that have diplomatic relations with Japan (Palestinian and Taiwanese researchers are eligible to apply).
Those who have previously been awarded a Standard or Pathway Fellowship under the JSPS Postdoctoral Fellowship for Research in Japan are also not eligible.
BENEFIT:
Airfare: a round-trip air ticket (based on JSPS regulations)
Maintenance allowance: JPY 362,000 per month
Miscellaneous: a settling-in allowance of JPY 200,000 and overseas travel insurance
