UNU-IAS PhD and Postdoctoral fellowships
Every year UNU-IAS offers PhD and Postdoctoral fellowships to provide
young scholars and policy-makers, especially from the developing
world, with a multi-disciplinarily context within which to pursue
advanced research and training that is of professional interest to the
successful applicant and of direct relevance to the research agenda of
their selected UNU-IAS or UNU programme.
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.
