The Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST) is inviting applications for Visiting Scholars through its Visiting Program (TSVP).

The Visiting Program was launched in June 2021, with the goal of bringing leading researchers to OIST for extended visits. In keeping with OIST's interdisciplinary mission, the program spans all fields including, but not limited to, mathematics, physics, computational sciences, chemistry, engineering, and life sciences. Only researchers requiring access to a lab should apply as “Experimental Visiting Scholars” instead (see this overview of all OIST's Visiting Programs for other options).

Visiting Scholars will have the opportunity to carry out independent research at OIST, and to interact with one or more OIST Research Units during their stay. Visits will usually be of 3 to 12 months, with support provided for travel, accommodation and living expenses at the level of per diem. No teaching duties come with the position

Independent researchers (senior postdoc upwards) from any research field related to OIST are eligible to apply. We are especially seeking applications from women and underrepresented groups.
