The Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) is Japan's sole independent funding agency with a mission to advance science. JSPS carries out a variety of programs in ways that proactively provide stable and sustained support for researchers' activities. As JSPS continues to support the advancement of scientific research, it will promote cooperation among universities and research institutions in and outside Japan.

The JSPS International Fellowships for Research in Japan standard program provides opportunities for excellent postdoctoral researchers from other countries to conduct, under the guidance of their hosts, cooperative research with leading research groups in universities and other Japanese institutions. In the FY2026 Postdoctoral Fellowship program, applications are now open. Interested researchers can submit their application forms via Japanese host institutions to the JSPS Electronic Application System. Application deadline is August 29, 2025.
