Visiting Researcher

The National Institute for Japanese Language and Linguistics (NINJAL) accepts Visiting Researchers who specialize in Japanese language studies (including Japanese language education) or related fields, from universities or research institutions both in Japan and abroad. Visiting researchers are expected to secure their own funding, as NINJAL does not provide financial support under this program.
In order to apply, choose a prospective host from among our full-time academic staff and obtain their preliminary consent. After consulting with a Department Head (for example, the Dean) from the applicant’s current institution, make an application as follows.
