			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Reischauer Institute of Japanese Studies Is Organizing Harvard Post Doctoral Fellowships 2011</h2>
<p><strong>About Reischauer Institute of Japanese Studies</strong>:<br />

It seeks to stimulate scholarly and public interest in Japan and Japanese studies at Harvard and around the world.</p>
<p><strong>Details:</strong><br />
The Edwin O. Reischauer Institute of Japanese Studies at Harvard University will offer several postdoctoral fellowships in Japanese studies to recent PhDs of exceptional promise, to give them the opportunity to turn their dissertation into publishable manuscripts</p>
<p><strong>Eligibility:</strong><br />
Applicants must have received their PhD degree in 2006 or later, in Japanese studies in any area of the humanities or social sciences. Those who are chosen to receive fellowships must have completed all requirements for the PhD degree by July 1, 2011.</p>
<p><strong>Responsibilities:</strong><br />
Residence in the Cambridge/Boston area and participation in Institute activities are required during the appointment. Postdoctoral fellows will be expected to give a presentation at the Reischauer Institute’s Japan Forum lecture series. During their term of appointment, postdoctoral fellows will be expected to contribute to the teaching program at Harvard, normally by offering one undergraduate course during the fall or spring semester of the academic year. Areas of particular interest for 2011-12 tentatively include Japanese film; Japanese popular culture; Meiji  history; Japanese imperialism/war memory; gender and politics in East Asia; political economy of Japan; and Japanese-Americans in history, culture, politics, and/or society. Broader courses that include, but are not limited to, Japan are especially encouraged.</p>
<p><span id="more-8065"></span><strong>Grant:</strong><br />
1. Each fellowship will cover a 10-month period, beginning September 1, 2011, with a stipend of $44,000 health insurance coverage for the grantee and research/travel funds.<br />
2. Postdoctoral fellows will be provided office space, and access to the libraries and resources of Harvard University.</p>
<p><strong>How To Apply:<br />
</strong>Applicants should submit one original &amp; five copies of a complete, collated application consisting of the following:<br />
* Cover sheet: on a separate sheet, please provide the following information, retyping each question in this order.<br />

7) Short summary (c. 40 words) of research plan<br />
 <img src='http://www.scholarshipsworld.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_cool.gif' alt='8)' class='wp-smiley' /> Brief statement on teaching interests<br />
9) Do you have a continuing teaching position? If yes, where? N.B. If teaching, have you obtained approval from your dept. to accept a postdoctoral position (if received) for 2010-11?<br />
10) Have you previously applied for a Harvard postdoctoral fellowship? If yes, when?<br />
11) Are you currently applying for other postdoctoral fellowships at Harvard? If so, which?<br />
* Curriculum vitae: please include citizenship, Social Security number, current and permanent addresses, telephone number(s), email address; academic degrees with dates of conferral, discipline and institution.<br />
* List of publications (this may be included in your CV)<br />
* Official transcript of grades *(Only 1 original necessary; other 5 copies may be duplicates.)<br />
* Dissertation abstract and table of contents (up to 3 pages; be sure your name is designated at top of each page)<br />
* Plan of research (on separate sheet, up to 2 pages): What do you plan to do at each stage of your research during the fellowship? What particular resources do you intend to use at each stage? What are the advantages of doing your postdoctoral fellowship at Harvard; are there specific individuals you hope to seek out while in residence?<br />
* Brief statement (up to one page) on your teaching interests, and on your ideas about a few undergraduate courses you might teach, with a sentence or two on how you might approach each if you were to offer it. See above for areas of possible need in 2010-11. In addition, we are especially open to courses that are framed more broadly and that are not limited to Japan. (e.g., Warriors; Literature and Environment; Depressions; East Asia in the International Political Economy.) Because this is a new requirement and arrangements will need to be negotiated with the relevant departments or programs, applicants are encouraged to list several course titles, in the event that their preferred topic does not correspond with departmental priorities. Successful applicants will be asked to submit course descriptions at a later date.<br />
* Two letters of recommendation (signed and sealed). These must be enclosed with application unless an exception is granted (in which case recommendations being sent separately must reach the Reischauer Institute by the application deadline). *(Only one original of each recommendation needed; the Reischauer Institute will duplicate these.)</p>

<p><strong>About OAH:</strong><br />
Founded in 1907, the Organization of American Historians (OAH) is the largest professional society dedicated to the teaching and study of American history. The mission of the organization is to promote excellence in the scholarship, teaching, and presentation of American history, and to encourage wide discussion of historical questions and equitable treatment of all practitioners of history. The OAH is supported through the contributions of its membership, income from the annual meeting, and the support of Indiana University. The OAH represents more than 7,800 historians working in the U.S. and abroad. Our members include college and university professors, precollegiate teachers, archivists, museum curators, public historians, students, and a variety of scholars employed in government and the private sector.</p>
<p><strong>Detail:</strong><br />
With the generous support of the Japan-United States Friendship Commission, the OAH and the Japanese Association for American Studies (JAAS) plan to send two American scholars to Japanese universities for two-week residencies from June 1-14, 2011. During their residencies, the American historians give lectures and seminars in English in their specialty. They also meet individually and in groups with Japanese scholars, graduate students, and undergraduate students studying American history and culture, and participate in the collegial life of their host institutions. The purpose of this exchange program is to facilitate scholarly dialogue and contribute to the expansion of scholarly networks among students and professors of American history in both countries. We are pleased to announce (pending funding) the fifteenth year of the competition.</p>
<p><strong>Eligibility:</strong><br />
Applicants from previous competitions are welcome to apply again. Winners of the competition are expected to attend the 2011 OAH Annual Meeting in Houston, Texas, so that they can meet with visiting Japanese scholars and graduate students as well as the OAH/JAAS Historians’ Collaborative Committee.<br />
The two host institutions in Japan for 2011 are:<br />
Hitotsubashi University (Tokyo, Japan) is seeking a specialist in the history of race and gender. The University of Kitakyushu (Fukuoka, Japan) is seeking a specialist in American Jewish history.<br />
Note: If the host university cannot offer housing, applicants are expected to pay hotel expenses from the daily stipend.</p>
<p><strong>Award:</strong><br />
Round-trip airfare to Japan, housing, and modest daily expenses are covered by the award. Awardees are also encouraged to explore Japan before or after their two-week residency at their own expense. Applicants must be members of the OAH, have a Ph.D., and be scholars of American history.</p>
<p><strong><span id="more-7563"></span>How To Apply:</strong><br />
Applications should include the following:<br />
1. A two-page curriculum vitae emphasizing teaching experience and publications. Also include the names and contact information of three references.<br />
2. The institution(s) for which you would like to be considered.<br />
3. A personal statement, no longer than two pages, describing your interest in this program and the issues that your own scholarship and teaching have addressed. Please devote one or two paragraphs to why you understand this residency to be central to your development as a scholar in the world community. You may include comments on previous collaboration or work with non-U.S. academics or students. If you wish, you may comment on your particular interest in Japan.</p>

<p><strong>About The Fuji Xerox:</strong><br />
In 1992, Fuji Xerox announced the Good Company Concept on which our management is based. Under this concept, a good company must be &#8220;strong&#8221;, &#8220;kind&#8221; and &#8220;interesting.&#8221; A &#8220;strong&#8221; company can deliver excellent products and services that satisfy customers and also reward its shareholders on an ongoing basis.</p>
<p><strong>Details:<br />
</strong>Development of international understanding and cooperation is all the more important to achieve a peaceful and harmonious global society, which is the long-term goal of humanity in the 21st century.<br />
Although Japan has dramatically elevated her position in the world in the decades following World War II, it is also true that Japan has not yet fully lived up to the role expected of her. In particular, Japan does not seem to have the best relations with her Asia-Pacific neighbors in terms of politics, economics and culture despite their geographic proximity and long history of cultural interchanges with Japan. In this respect, further mutual understanding and reliance on continued efforts to foster friendship through interchanges among nations have great significance in today’s world.<br />
In its Mission Statement, Fuji Xerox Co., Ltd. asserts that it will contribute to the advancement of the global community by continuously fostering mutual trust and enriching diverse culture. Based on this precept and the above-mentioned perception of the current status of Japan, the research grant program was initiated to support young researchers from Asia-Pacific countries/regions who are studying in Japan. The grant is allocated from the Setsutaro Kobayashi Memorial Fund, which was established to commemorate the achievements of the late Setsutaro Kobayashi, who was the first president of Fuji Xerox.<br />
Fuji Xerox hopes that the research grant program contributes to the promotion of mutual understanding of people and harmonious development of the nations or areas in the Asia-Pacific regions.</p>
<p><strong><span id="more-7060"></span>Amount:</strong><br />
Maximum 1,200,000 yen per grantee will be available to approximately 40 grantees. An amount from 430,000 to 1,200,000 yen per grantee was provided to 41 grantees for the 2007 program. (Depending upon the results of the Grantee Screening Committee&#8217;s assessment, the actual amount for some grantees could be less than the originally requested amount.</p>
<p><strong><!--more-->Originality:</strong> While the research theme and method should be based on an applicant&#8217;s original concept or unique idea, such method should be attainable.<br />
Social value: The theme should have strong potential for promotion of mutual understanding among people and nations/regions in Japan and Asia-Pacific.<br />
The results of the research shall be reflected in the thesis submitted for a doctorate and shall have strong potential for obtaining the doctoral degree in the near future.</p>
