If the expected progress is made, the funding will be re-nominated each year, up to the maximum of 3-years of continuous funding./nOBU offers a broad range of expertise on Japanese culture and language, but we would be particularly interested in candidates with projects on ageing and care, film and cinema studies, literature and the arts, social anthropology, or popular culture.
