The Program on U.S.-Japan Relations at Harvard University's Weatherhead Center for International Affairs invites applications for a postdoctoral fellowship in the 2025-26 academic year.

Research Areas

We welcome applications from scholars in anthropology, business, economics, history, international relations, law, political science, psychology, public health, public policy, and sociology, among other fields. Research projects may examine domestic issues that bear on Japan's external relations or problems that it shares with other countries.

The postdoctoral fellowship is a twelve-month appointment, in residence in the Boston area, that begins in either August or September. The award includes a stipend of $70,000, eligibility for university subsidized health insurance coverage, and up to $5,000 for research and travel funds.

Eligibility

Applicants must have received their doctoral degree in 2020 or later, in a discipline bearing on the Program's research areas. Research projects that focus on Japan or Japan's international role from a comparative, historical, or global perspective are welcome.
