【Tenure-track Type】
Kyoto University launched the Hakubi Project to Foster and Support Young Researchers in 2009 to support the activities of promising early-career researchers and enable them to pioneer new paths in their respective academic fields.
In 2015, the Hakubi Project was subdivided into two types of program: the Global Type and the Tenure-track Type. The Tenure-track Type is subsidized by the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) as part of its Leading Initiative for Excellent Young Researchers (LEADER) program.
This call for applications is for the Tenure-track Type. Details about the Global Type is available on the website of the Hakubi Center for Advanced Research:
