Three Categories of Fellowships are offered at the JNIAS.

The Department of Environmental Studies in the Faculty of Arts and Science at New York University invites applications for a tenure-track position at the rank of Assistant Professor. We are particularly interested in candidates specializing in environmental ethics, global environmental governance, and/or environmental justice. We welcome candidates from a broad range of social science, physical science, policy, and humanities backgrounds (e.g., philosophy, environmental studies, urban studies, ecology, political science, sociology, economics, public policy, geography).

The Andlinger Center for Energy and the Environment invites applications for its Distinguished Postdoctoral Fellows program, with start dates as early as June 2023. This program supports outstanding scholars whose research focuses on innovative solutions to pressing technological, economic, and/or policy challenges relating to energy and the environment. Applications from members of groups that have been historically underrepresented within the fields of energy and environment are highly encouraged.

The program provides PhD students or PhD researchers in the Europe and North America with opportunities to conduct collaborative research under the guidance of their hosts in universities and other Japanese institutions for a relatively short period of time. A person who has never engaged in research at universities etc. in Japan would be most preferable.

History

JSPS launched the “Postdoctoral invitees from the United Kingdom and West Germany” in 1979. 10 people from each country were invited for two years based on recommendations from the Royal Society in the UK and the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation in West Germany.

Through a generous donation, King’s College Cambridge is able to invite applications for a four-year Research Fellowship from those who are completing or have recently completed a doctorate and who intend to pursue a substantial research project on some aspect of the Silk Road countries, societies, and cultures of Asia from the Western borders of China to the Mediterranean Sea, as well as their relationships with China in the East and Europe in the West.
