UCSD Graduate Funding Blog

I’m copying and pasting the announcement I received below.  Two things to keep in mind:

1) Even though they’re called the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, their funding is actually open to researchers in the humanities as well.

2) Doctoral students can apply for what they call short-term postdoctoral fellowships.
