Visiting Scholar Information
Purpose
The Japan Center for Michigan Universities (JCMU) Visiting Scholar Program is an opportunity for university faculty to live and research in Japan while teaching one undergraduate course. Scholars from various disciplines are welcome to apply for a Visiting Scholar position at JCMU for fall and/or spring semesters, as well as up to a 3-week session in May.
Qualifications
Visiting scholars must be distinguished in their fields, having earned a Ph.D. or equivalent terminal degree, or completed all the necessary requirements for a Ph.D. except for the dissertation (ABD status). Preference is given to scholars with a research interest and background in Japanese studies, and who are faculty of one of the 15 JCMU member universities. The Visiting Scholar Program is particularly suitable for faculty members on sabbatical leave.
