Toshiba offers R&D experience in Japan
By Tim Hayes
The Toshiba Fellowship Programme aims to strengthen UK-Japanese understanding through R&D activities in an industrial context. Now celebrating its 25th anniversary, it was the first scheme of its kind to be run by a private company, and several Toshiba Fellows have gone on to become professors and leaders of research groups.
The Programme is open to PhD-level researchers of EU nationality, currently studying or working in a UK academic institution.
The successful candidate will take part in leading-edge research activities in one of Toshiba’s R&D centres in Japan. They will gain up to two years’ experience, and will be able to develop their chosen specialist research area whilst receiving relocation assistance and other benefits.
This year the Programme focuses on fifteen research topics of interest to Toshiba in materials, software and media technologies. One of them is the development of organic functional materials for future displays.
Alternatively, applicants can suggest their own topics, demonstrating their knowledge and commitment to R&D.
The closing date for applications in 12th December 2008.

Good luck!
