UC Berkeley Shinjo Ito Postdoctoral Fellowship in Japanese Buddhism, 2013‑2014

Introduction

With the generous support of the Shinnyo-en Foundation, Center for Japanese Studies at UC Berkeley is pleased to invite applications for a postdoctoral research fellowship. The term of the appointment is August 1, 2013, to May 31, 2014.

The Fellowship is intended to foster the academic careers of recent Ph.D.'s, providing time to pursue their research. Fellows will deliver a public lecture on their research as part of the Center for Japanese Studies Colloquium Series. Fellows will be provided with office space, library privileges, and a stipend of $40,000 plus benefits.

Applicants must have their doctoral degrees in hand by June 30, 2013, and must be no more than six years out of their doctorate. Candidates who do not yet hold a Ph.D. but expect to by June 30, 2013, should supply a letter from their home institution confirming their schedule to completion.

Applicants whose research interests are primarily in the areas of Buddhism outside Japan should apply to the Shinjo Ito Postdoctoral Fellowship in Buddhist Studies, administered through the Center for Buddhist Studies, rather than to the Shinjo Ito Fellowship in Japanese Buddhism.
