The Research Plan should highlight:
- The key Research Question that you aim to answer
- The state of knowledge (from a literature review), highlighting the Novelty of your research
- The Methodology that you plan to use, and why
- The Data that you plan to obtain, or that is available to do your research on
- The title and rough content of 3 papers that you plan to publish as a part of this research, and that make up the main part of your thesis.
Please contact us as early as possible for the next academic year, as places are limited each year.
Post-docs – please consider applying for funding – one option is JSPS: https://www.jsps.go.jp/english/e-fellow/application-22.html
