Prospective Graduate Students
We seek highly motivated students who wish to advance research in ecological studies, ecosystem conservation, or natural resource management as a graduate student in our group. Students with a background in ecology, natural resource management, mathematics, or related fields would be the best fit for our lab. Please note that if there is a significant discrepancy between the supervisor's area of expertise and the student's interests, it may prove challenging to provide sufficient supervision. Therefore, we request that you contact us in advance if you wish to pursue this opportunity.
また2024年度より,生態系保全管理研究などに取り組む意欲的な学生を募集しております。生態学(特に保全,数理,群集など),生物資源管理,数理的手法またはこれらに関連する知識を持っていることが望ましいですが,熱意と責任感を持ち上記分野の研究に取り組める方も歓迎します。ただし指導教員の専門分野と学生の興味が著しく乖離している場合には研究指導が困難となる場合があるので,大学院生として当研究室に所属を希望する方は必ず事前に連絡してください。
Funded Ph.D. Opportunities
There are several competitive fellowship programs in Japan that provide financial support for doctoral students. These include the JSPS Research Fellowship for Young Scientists (DC1), a prestigious and competitive national program offering a monthly stipend of ¥200,000, plus up to ¥1,500,000 per year in research funding. The acceptance rate is around 20%, based on recent years. In addition, the University of Tokyo offers SPRING GX, a university-based fellowship that provides similar support, and may offer a more accessible path for some students compared to national fellowships.
A typical timeline for international students applying to our Ph.D. program with support from JSPS is as follows:
April: Apply for the JSPS Research Fellowship.
August: Take the entrance examination for the Ph.D. program in the Department of International Studies (Schedule A).
April (following year): If both applications are successful, begin your Ph.D. studies fully supported by the JSPS fellowship.
Note: Fellowship applications and university admission are separate processes. Both must be submitted independently, but according to the same timeline. For the most up-to-date information on JSPS programs and admission procedures, please refer to the respective official websites.
博士課程に進学するにあたり日本学術振興会特別研究員やSPRING GXなど,博士課程の学生を経済的に支援する制度に応募することが可能です。これらのフェローシップに採用されると,月額の生活費や研究費の支給があり,経済的な負担を抑えて博士課程の研究に専念することが可能です。詳細はそれぞれの制度のHPをご確認ください。
Prospective Postdocs
We are accepting applications for the JSPS Postdoctoral Fellow (deadlines are spring and fall). We encourage enthusiastic researchers interested in ecosystem conservation/management or ecology to contact us about this opportunity. Successful candidates will work with PI Nao Takashina in an interdisciplinary department.
当研究室では日本学術振興会特別研究員(PD)の受け入れを随時歓迎しております。興味のある方はお気軽にお問い合わせください。
