Call for Applications: JSPS Postdoctoral Fellowships
Dear Colleagues,
We invite applications for JSPS Postdoctoral Fellowships to be hosted at the
National Institute of Informatics (NII) in Tokyo. We are currently seeking
applicants in the specific research areas listed below. If you have an
interest then please send a CV (text, ps or PDF) to the individual
researchers listed
below. It will be helpful before doing this if you check the Web pages of the
researcher which is also given. The closing date for applications varies
between
European countries but final applications should be prepared before end of
April in
most cases.
We ask that potential applicants contact us well in advance to discuss
research topics and not later than February 11th.
This year the JSPS will award approximately 450 Fellowships under this
scheme.
To be eligible the applicant must be a citizen (or permanent resident) of a
country that has diplomatic relations with Japan, hold a doctorate when the
Fellowship goes into effect, and have arranged in advance a research plan
with his/her Japanese host. The awards include a monthly maintenance
allowance
of 392,000 Yen, a round trip air ticket, a settling-in allowance of 200,000
Yen, an annual travel allowance of 58,500 Yen and insurance that covers travel
and sickness. Successful candidates must begin their Fellowships in Japan
from
September 1st 2002 to November 30th 2002 which lasts from 12 to 24 months.
NII is one of the major research centres in the area of Computer Science,
located in the centre of Tokyo. We believe that we can offer European
researchers a
productive and enjoyable stay as well as a gateway to other active groups in
Japan and the Pacific area.
We currently have over 60 full time faculty conducting international quality
research in many areas ranging from application-oriented research in areas
such as
natural language processing, artificial intelligence, multi-media,
databases, image
analysis and networking to theoretical areas such as logic and numerical
analysis. We
also offer outstanding facilities in our new building which NII moved into
from
the middle of 2000. Please refer to the NII Web pages at
http://www.nii.ac.jp/ and the
list of individual research hosts for further information. For further
