ILCAA Research Staff embody the Institute’s aim of being an international hub for collaborative research into the languages and cultures of Asia and Africa. The Research Staff offer opportunities to organize networks of researchers across Japan and abroad through joint research projects, as well as conducting their own individual research.

Specially Appointed Researchers, including Project Assistant Professors, Research Associates, and Project Research Associates, hold fixed-term paid positions for early-career researchers at the postdoctoral level. They are engaged in various activities, assisting the research staff in conducting research projects; these activities are a part of the academic training for early-career scholars at ILCAA.

ILCAA offers visiting positions that enable international researchers to spend four to six months at the Institute, conducting joint research projects in collaboration with ILCAA Research Staff and other scholars in Japan. Each year, four to six visiting researchers are hosted.
