Fellows usually join their small research team in the Spring, and stay for up to two years.

Toshiba Fellows are always offered a choice between Toshiba company accommodation or private accommodation. Toshiba supports the Fellow with advice and support to find whichever home they will feel most happy in during their stay in Japan.

Toshiba Fellows work in one of the Toshiba research labs in Tokyo. The Toshiba Corporate R&D Center (RDC) is based in Kawasaki, Japan's prosperous 'Silicon Valley', located just 20 minutes from Tokyo city centre by train. Kawasaki is the prime location for advanced R&D operations for many multi-national computer and electronics companies.

As a Toshiba Fellow, you could regularly enjoy a diverse mix of cultural and leisure pursuits. There is a whole new world of temples, shrines, food, museums, theatres and shopping to discover. Peaceful lakes and shrines in Nikko are simply beautiful during the Autumn season. Japan's land area of 145,914 square miles covers a diverse geography of mountains, lakes, hot springs, forests and islands. It is the perfect environment to relax or enjoy something more active - whatever takes your fancy!
