Description
The EU-Japan Centre for Industrial Cooperation proposes
a 6 month in-house fellowship scheme in Japan, designed to support its
research and policy analysis of EU-Japan economic and industrial issues.
The Research Fellow will undertake research work on a selected priority
topic of the Centre, which should result in a consistent policy report (70-100
pages), to be owned by the Centre.
Apart from research on a pre-determined topic, the Research
Fellow will be expected to support the daily analytical activities of the
Centre, including media monitoring, policy briefings, seminar reports, etc.

this fellowship is addressed to EU+ (including Montenegro,
Turkey, FYROM, Iceland, Moldova) and Japanese professionals (trade and economic
analysts, academics, scientists, civil servants) with a proven interest in
Japan and EU-Japan cooperation from multiple perspectives (trade/market access,
industrial policy issues, R&D, etc);
candidates must possess EU or Japanese citizenship,
university degree, and a strong interest in Japan and EU-Japan relations;
previous professional experience with Japan, an already
advanced study/research on one of the priority topics, and Japanese language
abilities will constitute an advantage in the selection process.
Fellowship
The fellowship is worth 1,700 EUR/month (paid in
Japanese Yen) and covers a period of 6 months. The fellowship is expected
to cover basic daily expenses and accommodation in Tokyo. A Research Fellow
selected from outside Japan, will receive an additional travel subsidy of up to
1,000 EUR. The EU-Japan Centre for Industrial Cooperation will provide
assistance in obtaining the visa for Japan as well as various logistical
