1. Recruitment for the 3rd Shadowing Training Program
Our support office provides assistance to female researchers aiming for career advancement who participate in voluntary training programs involving shadowing senior faculty members (mentors).
For example, here are some examples of what shadowing can entail...
- Meetings and faculty meetings in which mentors participate.
- Joint research meeting
- Graduate school lectures (lectures are given by trainees)
- One-on-one direct instruction (mentoring sessions)
These are just a few examples. If you are interested, please see the application guidelines on the website below. The deadline is November 9th.
Call for applications for the shadowing training support program.

We are currently recruiting booth exhibitors and event staff for the "Sapporo Science Festa in Hokkaido University," which will be held on Sunday, January 27, 2019.
"Sapporo Science Festa in Hokkaido University" is an event that aims to broaden the base of science enthusiasts by allowing participating elementary and junior high school students to experience the breadth and depth of science and deepen their interest through hands-on experiments related to the university's research. It is aimed at elementary and junior high school students and their guardians who are interested in science (approximately 600 elementary and junior high school students are expected to attend).
Those wishing to exhibit should contact the Women Researchers Support Office by email by November 16th. We will then send you a booth information form.
