This enables young postdoctoral researchers from the UK to conduct cooperative research with research groups in universities and other Japanese institutions. Research must address a subject within the natural sciences. Applicants must have received their doctoral degree in the last six years and must be resident in the UK. Host researchers in Japan must be employed full-time at a university, inter-university research institute, Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) affiliated institution engaged in research, college of technology or institution designated by the minister of MEXT. Fellowships are tenable for one to two years and provide subsistence worth JPY 362,000 per month, a settling-in allowance of JPY 200,000, a return air ticket and insurance. Japanese hosts may also apply for a research grant to cover cooperative research-related expenses.
