April 7th, 2008

The United Nations University Institute of Advanced Studies (UNU-IAS) is now accepting applications for its three fellowship programmes:
- UNU-IAS PhD Fellowships,
- UNU-IAS Postdoctoral Fellowships, and
- JSPS-UNU Postdoctoral Fellowships
The closing date for applications is 25 April 2008 (17h00 Tokyo time).
UNU-IAS is a multi-thematic, interdisciplinary, research and training centre located in Yokohama, Japan. The Institute’s fellowship programmes provide young scientists, policy makers, and developing country scholars with the opportunity to expand their intellectual vision beyond a single scientific field.
The fellowship programme provides the successful applicant with a unique opportunity to:
- develop and advance their research under the supervision of a UNU-IAS or UNU faculty member and contribute to the overall research agenda of the Institute,
- widen their research interests and professional networks by working in the international and multi-disciplinary context of the UNU-IAS and UNU, and with its wider network of Japanese universities and research institutes, as well as international collaborators,
- become exposed to the workings of the international and multilateral policy process and the broader UN system, and
- link with other UNU-IAS and UNU PhD and Postdoctoral fellows.
The fellows are resident at UNU-IAS in Yokohama or UNU in Tokyo, Japan for the full term of the fellowship. This gives the PhD and Postdoctoral fellows the opportunity to gain from the broader research programme of lectures, seminars, workshops and conferences arranged by the UNU-IAS and UNU. UNU’s close institutional links with Japanese affiliated professors and visiting professors from key universities and think tanks in Japan also allows fellows to link into the broader Japanese academic and research community. Since the start of the fellowship programme at UNU-IAS in 1996, more than 160 young scholars, 70% of which from the developing world, have benefited from collaboration with UNU-IAS/UNU and Japanese scholars in this way.
UNU-IAS PhD and Postdoctoral Fellowships are offered for a period of 10 months beginning in October 2008. JSPS-UNU Postdoctoral Fellowships are offered for 12-24 months beginning in November 2008. Postdoctoral candidates must have completed a PhD degree, and PhD candidates must be at the advanced stage of their doctoral dissertation. Candidates’ current research must be closely related to one of the thematic areas of the Institute (see www.ias.unu.edu/sub_page.aspx?catID=5&ddlID=57 for more details).
