From the University of Michigan CJS mailing list:

I am pleased to announce that Waseda Institute for Advanced Study (WIAS) is presently recruiting senior level researchers as Visiting Fellows whose appointment periods are over 1 month and up to 6 months, starting between October 1, 2011 and March 31, 2012. This program is designed to support researchers who wish to spend a certain period in residence at WIAS pursuing their own research during holidays or other leave from their home institutions. Visiting Fellows are expected to advance their own work and also stimulate their colleagues’ relationships among Japanese academic circles.

The application deadline is April 25th. For further details, please refer to the recruitment information at the following website. Application forms can also be downloaded from this site.

WIAS was established in 2006 as a strategic core to support the development of Waseda University’s research and academic capabilities. Since its establishment, WIAS has promoted both interdisciplinary and international interactions by recruiting young researchers as junior research fellows and inviting distinguished researchers as senior fellows from all over the world. So far senior level researchers having joined WIAS in the past found their stay at WIAS productive and fruitful in terms of research. I hope many of you and your colleagues will take this opportunity to further enhance your research and develop your relationship with researchers at WIAS and Waseda University.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you in advance for your consideration.
