The Story of a Foreign Researcher as a JSPS Fellow in Japan

Abstract

　I lived and worked in Japan as a Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) research fellow during the period 2017-2019. In this essay, I briefly present why I decided to visit Japan on this fellowship, and what I experienced as a foreigner. I believe that this essay will motivate many young researchers to pursue their postdoctoral studies in Japan on a fellowship from the JSPS.
