Positions as a researcher is still and ever one of the major options for doctoral students. Especially for international doctoral students without Japanese language proficiency, research positions that do not require relatively high Japanese language skills are precious for their career development.

On the other hand, job hunting in universities and public research institutes, so called “Academia”, is often very different from that in the private sector and students tend to gather information just from people around them such as people in the laboratory. To say further, there is less information on academic career development distributed.

－Therefore, we will provide guidance on academic careers with a focus on doctoral students, including non-Japanese speaking doctoral students, how to obtain academic positions in Japan.

－We look forward to your participation, regardless of your academic year, field of study nor background.
