The Toshiba Fellowship Programme

The Toshiba Fellowship Programme offers outstanding scientists an opportunity to join Toshiba’s research and development laboratories in Japan for up to two years, on a Research Fellowship Contract.

The Toshiba Fellowship Programme has opened applications for the 2010 post-graduate scheme. The programme offers one or two PhD-level researchers studying or working in a UK academic or Governmental institution the opportunity to kick-start their career by gaining up to two year’s experience in a Toshiba R&D laboratory in Japan.

The Toshiba Fellowship Programme was set up with the objective of nurturing cultural understanding between the UK, Europe and Japan in the fields of technology and engineering. It gives Fellows the opportunity to work in a highly innovative organisation, in a country renowned for its world-class technology.

Since it was established 26 years ago, the Toshiba Fellowship Programme has attracted high-calibre applicants from the UK’s top universities in the area of science and technology. To date, it has given 29 Fellows a unique start to their careers, and Toshiba’s R&D departments have gained from their fresh thinking in return. Many of the Toshiba Fellowship alumni have gone on to successful careers, investing their skills back into the UK and European knowledge base and economy.

The programme also gives you a great opportunity to discover a new world in Industry before deciding where they would like to permanently settle their career. Toshiba also provides a network of contacts and have an Alumni society, which reunites every year in London to share knowledge, enhance networking and maintain good relations between Toshiba and its past Fellows.

The successful Fellows would undertake a research project in a Toshiba’s R&D lab in Japan, and at the same time will discover a new culture; totally immersed into the Japanese way of life. During their stay, they may take Japanese language lessons. Toshiba Fellows benefit from an excellent salary and relocation allowance. Toshiba Fellows can also enjoy some free time exploring Japan with their 20 days’ annual leave (in addition to Japanese Public Holidays) Toshiba Fellows are well looked after during their time at one of the Toshiba’s research laboratories in Tokyo.

Research topics for this year fall into the following areas:

Wireless and Network

Media Technologies

Software

Materials & Devices

Security

Applicants may also submit their own research project proposals, provided they are relevant to the above TFP 2010 research areas.
