It's that time of year again and deadlines are coming up for 1-2 year postdoc fellowships from JSPS. There are two application routes: through an institution in Japan such as NII or through a nominating authority abroad. Deadlines inside NII are August 12th 2011 and April 13th 2012. See JSPS's Web site for further information at http://www.jsps.go.jp/english/e-fellow/postdoctoral.html#long. See my note on New Postdocs for information on the topics I'm interested in supervising.
