I-HoP:Building Academic Career in Japan（3/14）

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.

Mr. Tomonori FUKASAWA
President/Emerging Technologies Corporation
Doctoral Consultant / Hokkaido University

The lecturer has been providing career support specifically to PhDs and PhD candidates for over 15 years. He has launched and developed several job-hunting services specialized in PhDs. Although he and his company mainly focus on the matching between PhDs and companies, since they have a broad network of companies and stakeholders in academia, they support the career development in academia as well.

He has made efforts to develop original career support services such as “Ph.D. AGENT” and “Ph.D.-engine wakate” all together with 8000+ users. He is also engaged in a project by universities as well as MEXT (Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology) on career advice including internship, job search and one-to-one career consulting for PhDs and PhD students.
