The number of theme-based PhD students currently enrolled 

 

Since the second semester of 2007, the Center has been giving entrance examinations with a focus on theme-based thesis to educate PhD students aiming to obtain a degree based on the research topics of the Center.

Number of RAs/PDs 

 

Research Assistants  The Center hires PhD students aiming to obtain their degrees while participating in research projects as research assistants (RAs). The Center’s RAs are divided into 4 categories, including RA1—PhD students who entered the university through a theme-based examination (up until academic year 2009).

Postdoctoral Fellows  The Center welcomes young researchers who have obtained their PhD degrees as Postdoctoral fellows (PDs) and research members of the Center. There are 3 categories of PDs, including “Center PD” hired by the Center, Special Researcher (PD) of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) and other PDs hired under various systems at the university. The PDs take part in research projects, gaining experience as researchers as they further their own research work.
