Contract: Full-Time

Thanks to JET alum, Fernando Rojas (Fukui-ken) for the following job opening:

The SSRC seeks to hire a Program Coordinator in its Tokyo office to support the Abe Fellowship Program, the Global Scholars Initiative, and additional projects as needed.

The Abe Fellowship Program encourages international multidisciplinary research on topics of pressing global concern. The program fosters the development of a new generation of researchers interested in policy-relevant topics and willing to become key members of a bilateral and global research network.

The Japan Foundation Center for Global Partnership (CGP) established the Abe Fellowship Program as its flagship program in 1991 in partnership with the SSRC. The Abe Fellowship Program now includes three core elements: the Abe Fellowship, the Abe Fellowship for Journalists, and the Abe Fellows Global Forum. The principal responsibility of the position is the day-to-day implementation of the Abe Fellowship Program in Japan in partnership with and under the supervision of the SSRC’s Consulting Director in Tokyo.
