Visiting scholar Tokyo College
Riksbankens Jubileumsfond is now offering the opportunity for a residential fellowship at Tokyo College, Tokyo University’s English-language, multidisciplinary Institute for Advanced Studies during the 2026/2027 academic year.
As part of Riksbankens Jubileumsfond’s (RJ) efforts to strengthen the internationalisation of Swedish research in the humanities and social sciences, the Foundation offers grants for residential fellowships at multiple institutes for advanced studies.
Tokyo College is one of Tokyo University’s four institutes for advanced studies and the only one that is English-language and multidisciplinary. Established in 2019, Tokyo College is an independent environment led by researchers who are also active part-time at various departments at Tokyo University. From the 2026/2027 academic year, RJ is offering a visiting scholar programme together with Tokyo College.
The main purpose of being a visiting scholar at Tokyo College is to enable the scholar to concentrate on their own research, free from teaching and administrative obligations at their home institution. Visiting scholars at Tokyo College are expected to be active members of the multidisciplinary environment and to participate in seminars and academic events beyond their own fields of specialisation. The connection to Tokyo University enables the visiting scholar to establish contacts with leading Japanese researchers in various disciplines.
