About this position

OIST Visiting Scholars Program at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (Japan) is an interdisciplinary, fully funded visiting opportunity for established researchers.

The program supports independent research visits of 3 to 12 months and is open to applicants with a PhD who are working at the level of a senior postdoc, junior group leader, or faculty member at a research-intensive institution. The call is especially suitable for researchers seeking international collaboration, cross-disciplinary exchange, and access to OIST's research environment.

Research areas span the full interdisciplinary scope of OIST, including mathematics, physics, computational sciences, chemistry, engineering, and life sciences. Visiting Scholars can interact with one or more OIST Research Units and are expected to contribute to the academic community through a general-audience lecture; seminars, short courses, outreach, and career talks are also encouraged.

Funding may cover round-trip airfare, on-campus accommodation, and living expenses via per diem. Office space and advanced research facilities are provided. There are no teaching duties. In exceptional cases, salary support may be considered if needed and justified. Funding is subject to availability.

Eligibility highlights: applicants must be independent researchers with a relevant PhD; current students are not eligible. Research proposals should align with OIST's interdisciplinary mission. For this funding round, the intended stay should begin between April 2027 and March 2028.

Application deadline: 15 September 2026. Applications are accepted via Interfolio only. Required materials include a CV with publications, a 1-2 page research proposal, and a title and abstract for a general-audience talk.

This is a strong opportunity for researchers in physics, chemistry, computer science, mathematics, engineering, biology, and related fields who want to build international collaborations at OIST.

Funding details

Full funding including tuition fees and living expenses is available for this position. The scholarship covers all educational costs and provides a monthly stipend.

How to apply

Please submit your application including a cover letter, CV, academic transcripts, and contact information for two references. Applications should be sent via the online portal before the deadline.
