The move comes in response to restrictive academic policies under President Donald Trump's administration. The administration's measures include banning Harvard University from enrolling international students. The University of Osaka announced the plan on Wednesday, saying it will allocate a budget of about 4 to 7 million dollars for the program. The university provided details at a news conference on Thursday. It said it will begin accepting applications within three months. Eligible candidates are postdoctoral researchers working at US universities who have faced research funding cuts or dismissal since the start of the Trump administration. They will be employed at the university's Graduate School of Medicine for one year. There will be no restrictions on the field of expertise. The school will assign them to suitable laboratories based on their preferences. Dean Ishii Masaru of the graduate school expressed hope that recruiting talented researchers from different countries will contribute to the advancement of the university and science in Japan. The University of Osaka is also considering measures to assist international students who now face difficulties continuing their studies in the US. The support may include tuition waivers and assistance with travel-related procedures.
