About the Organization
The Royal Society is a Fellowship of many of the world's most eminent scientists and is the oldest scientific academy in continuous existence.
The Society has played a part in some of the most fundamental, significant, and life-changing discoveries in scientific history and Royal Society scientists continue to make outstanding contributions to science in many research areas.
About the Fellowship
This scheme is for scientists in the UK who are at an early stage of their career and wish to conduct research in Japan.
The scheme, which is funded by the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS), provides the opportunity for highly qualified early career researchers to conduct cooperative research with leading research groups in universities and other Japanese institutions. The Royal Society is provided with a quota for this scheme by JSPS.
The scheme provides funding for between 12 months and two years, covering:
- a round-trip air ticket
- a monthly maintenance allowance of 362,000 yen (approximately £2,500)
- a settling-in allowance of 200,000 yen (approximately £1,400)
- overseas travel accident and sickness insurance coverage
- a research grant, “Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research” (Tokubetsu Kenkyuin Shorei-hi) is available to cover cooperative research-related expenses. Application for these grants is made by the Japanese host researcher through their institution
Eligibility
Research must be within the Royal Society’s remit of natural sciences, which includes but is not limited to biological research, chemistry, engineering, mathematics and physics. For a full list, please see the breakdown of subject groups and areas supported by the Royal Society.
Applications for research in the social sciences should apply through The British Academy.

- have a PhD, or will have a PhD by the time the funding starts
- have not received your PhD more than six year prior to application
- are a UK resident and citizen of a country that has diplomatic relations with Japan
- have a research proposal agreed with a Japanese host scientist
The scheme is not open to applicants who have previously been awarded a fellowship under the JSPS Postdoctoral Fellowship Programme for Foreign Researchers (excluding the Postdoctoral Fellowship Programme (Short Term Award) for North American and European Researchers and the Summer Programme).
How to Apply
Applications should be submitted through the Royal Society’s grants and awards management system Flexi-Grant®.
Applications are initially reviewed by panel members with the most appropriate scientific expertise. Following this a shortlist is drawn up which is sent to JSPS for a final decision.
Applicants will be notified of the result by JSPS.
