MSS Graduate Student/Postdoctoral Research Awards


Name: MSS Graduate Student/Postdoctoral Research Awards

Award Amount: Varies, up to $2,000

Information And Eligibility:
The MSS Graduate Student/Postdoctoral Research Awards are administered by the Meteorological Society of Japan to support emerging scholars conducting advanced research in meteorology, atmospheric science, and closely related disciplines. These awards are intended to encourage high-quality, original research that advances scientific understanding of atmospheric processes, weather systems, climate dynamics, and related environmental phenomena.

The program is open to graduate students and postdoctoral researchers who are actively engaged in research projects with clear relevance to meteorological science. Eligible research areas may include synoptic and dynamic meteorology, climatology, atmospheric physics, numerical weather prediction, remote sensing, hydrometeorology, climate modeling, or interdisciplinary studies that integrate meteorology with oceanography, environmental science, or Earth system science. Projects may be theoretical, observational, experimental, or computational in nature, provided they demonstrate scientific rigor and relevance.

Applicants are expected to clearly articulate the objectives, methodology, and anticipated contributions of their research. Strong proposals typically demonstrate originality, feasibility, and potential impact within the field. The award is particularly well-suited for students and postdoctoral researchers seeking funding to support research expenses such as data acquisition, fieldwork, computational resources, conference participation, or specialized materials necessary for project completion.

Membership in the Meteorological Society of Japan is required for award recipients. Applicants who are not members at the time of application may apply with the understanding that they must obtain membership if selected. This award also provides professional recognition within the international meteorological research community and may strengthen academic credentials for future fellowships, grants, or faculty and research appointments.

Award amounts vary depending on the scope of the proposed research and available funding, with awards typically capped at $2,000. Funds must be used to support research-related activities and are not intended for general living expenses or tuition.

Eligibility Requirements:

  • Must be a graduate student or postdoctoral researcher in meteorology, atmospheric science, or a closely related field.
  • Must be actively engaged in original research that contributes to meteorological science.
  • Must be a member of the Meteorological Society of Japan or agree to become a member if selected.
  • Must demonstrate academic preparation and research capability appropriate to the proposed project.

Application Requirements:

  • Research proposal of approximately 1,000 words outlining objectives, methodology, and significance.
  • Academic curriculum vitae detailing education, research experience, and publications if applicable.
  • Copies of relevant academic transcripts.
  • Letter of recommendation from a research advisor or academic mentor.

Additional Details:

  • Award funds are intended for research-related expenses only.
  • Selection is based on scientific merit, originality, feasibility, and relevance to meteorology.
  • Recipients may be acknowledged through MSS communications or academic events.
