Each scholarship includes a monthly stipend of 9000FF for a period of nine months, health insurance, and roundtrip airfare to France. Deadline is Feb. 1. 972 Fifth Ave., New York, NY 10021. Fellowships are offered through the Social Science Research Council to support advanced graduate students during the writing of their dissertations in the United States. Applications will be accepted from graduate students working toward the Ph.D. degree who have completed research on a Japan-related topic and who are now writing their dissertations, as well as from students who will have begun their dissertations by the time they propose to begin the fellowship.
Support is available for up to nine months.
Full-time students, regardless of citizenship, who are enrolled in doctoral programs in the U.S. are eligible. Deadline is Nov. 15. These are unusual fellowships at both the dissertation and postdoctoral levels. They require fellows to undertake training that adds a new competence to the disciplinary skills they already have. The fellowships will not support a research program for which the applicant is already well prepared by prior experience and training.
