Open Call for Domestic Visitors

The Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST) is inviting applications for Domestic Visitors (currently working in Japan) through its Visiting Programs.

OISTs Visiting Program was launched in June 2021 with the goal of bringing leading researchers to OIST for extended keeping with OISTs interdisciplinary mission application is open to researchers from all scientific fields. The program for Domestic Visitors was created in recognition of the constraints faced by scientists working at Japanese institutes who cannot travel for extended periods but are in a position to make repeated visits to Okinawa.

Visitors will have the opportunity to carry out independent research at OIST and to interact with one or more OIST Research Units during their stay.Domestic visits will usually last 2 weeks to 6 months and can be split into several shorter visits. Accommodation and office space at OIST are provided free of charge. Candidates may apply for travel support from OIST where this is necessary to facilitate the visit (e.g. if they do not receive travel support through grants or their home institution). No teaching duties come with the position. However visitors are expected to give a research seminar within the first month of their visit.

To fully realize our vision of promoting scientific excellence through a diverse and inclusive community OIST is actively seeking applications from women and underrepresented groups. Please contact us atif you have any questions or concerns.

Applicants should hold a Ph.D. in a relevant field and be independent researchers i.e. should have an academic standing equivalent to senior postdoc junior group leader or faculty member at a research-intensive institution. The Domestic Program is intended for researchers working in Japan at the time of their proposed visit.
Note: Previously accepted candidates may apply for another visit.
