The Institute`s  mission is to advance knowledge and to promote learning for policy  making to meet the challenges of sustainable development. As an advanced  studies institute, UNU-IAS is forward-looking and multidisciplinary.<\/p>\n<p>Since  October 2000, UNU-IAS offers Postdoctoral Fellowships for recent PhD  graduates to provide them the opportunity to put the knowledge and  expertise acquired during their doctoral research to practical  policy-relevant use. So far, nearly 40 fellows from some 20 countries  have passed through the Postdoctoral Fellowship Programme. Of those  completing the programme about one third have been women, and developing  country participants have outnumbered developed country participants.<\/p>\n<p>About two Postdoctoral Fellowships are awarded each year for a period of ten months, starting in September.<\/p>\n<p>The fellowship programme provides the successful applicant with a unique opportunity to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>develop and advance their research under  the supervision of a UNU-IAS faculty member and contribute to the  overall research agenda of the Institute,<\/li>\n<li>widen their research interests and professional networks by working  in the international and multi-disciplinary context of UNU-IAS, and with  its wider network of Japanese universities and research institutes, as  well as international collaborators,<\/li>\n<li>become exposed to the workings of the international and multilateral policy process and the broader UN system, and<\/li>\n<li>link with other UNU-IAS and UNU PhD and Postdoctoral Fellows.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The fellows are resident at UNU-IAS in Yokohama or UNU-IAS OUIK in Kanazawa, Japan for the full term of the fellowship.  This gives them the opportunity to gain from the broader research  programme of lectures, seminars, workshops and conferences arranged by  UNU-IAS. The Institute`s close links with Japanese affiliated professors  and visiting professors from key universities and think tanks in Japan  also allows fellows to link into the broader Japanese academic and  research community.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Field of Research<\/strong><br \/>\nThe purpose of the UNU-IAS Postdoctoral Fellowship is to provide young  scholars and policy-makers, especially from the developing world, with a  multidisciplinarily context within which to pursue advanced research  and training that is of professional interest to the applicant and of  direct relevance to the research agenda of UNU-IAS. Research proposals  for UNU-IAS Postdoctoral Fellowships should therefore relate clearly to  one of the current research areas of the Institute, as well as aim to be  policy relevant. Research proposals are invited in the following areas:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Science and Technology for Sustainable Societies<\/li>\n<li>Sustainable Urban Futures<\/li>\n<li>Biodiplomacy Initiative<\/li>\n<li>Marine Governance and Coastal Management<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Eligibility and Conditions<\/strong><br \/>\nApplicants must have obtained a Ph.D. (or at least successfully defended their doctoral  dissertation), in an area broadly associated with the UNU-IAS thematic  focus, prior to the application deadline. Language proficiency in  English is essential. Applicants from developing countries and women are  particularly encouraged to apply.<\/p>\n<p>UNU-IAS Postdoctoral Fellowships are awarded for a period of 10 months. The starting date of the Postdoctoral Fellowship  Programme is 1 September. Successful applicants are required to be in  Yokohama by this date. Residency in Yokohama for the full duration of  the fellowship is required.<\/p>\n<p>Fellows are provided with their own desk in a dedicated study room in  the Institute, administrative support and desktop computing. Fellows  have access to the UNU Library in Tokyo which includes an excellent  collection of UN documents. They also have access via the UNU Library to  various Japanese university libraries and computer databases. A limited  range of other, more specialized computer hardware and software may also be available.<\/p>\n<p>The fellowship provides for a monthly stipend of JPY290,000 from which a  monthly usage charge for accommodation is deducted (see below). A  one-time only installment of JPY 80,000 will be granted to each fellow  at the beginning of the programme for adjustment expenses and incidental  costs. UNU-IAS provides fellows with a return air ticket between  his\/her country of residence and Narita Airport.<\/p>\n<p>Eligibility for a second 10-month appointment may be considered based on the Fellow`s performance.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Accommodation<\/strong><br \/>\nPostdoctoral Fellows will be provided accommodation by UNU-IAS (within  30 minute walk from the Institute). Usage charges other than utilities  (electricity, water, gas, telephone, etc.) are as follows:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Single room apartment (for one person) JPY80,000 or more per month<\/li>\n<li>Twin room apartment (for couples) JPY130,000 or more per month<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Starting Date and Deadline for Applications<\/strong><br \/>\nThe UNU-IAS Postdoctoral Fellowship Programme begins on 1 September and  the selected fellows are required to be in Japan by this date.
