Tokyo Institute of Technology will hold a 2017 research result presentation of Tenua Track faculty members at the Ookayama West Building 12 Collaboration Room on the Ookayama Campus (Ota-ku, Tokyo) from 18:2 pm on December 9, 2017.Any student or faculty member can participate freely.
According to the Tokyo Institute of Technology, at the recital, Associate Professor Hiroto Tanaka of the Faculty of Engineering, Associate Professor Kentaro Somiya of the Faculty of Science, and Professor Masaaki Kodera of the School of Life Science and Technology will explain their research contents.All presentations will be made in English.
The tenure-track faculty is a system in which the university hires young researchers for a certain term, gains experience in an independent research environment, and then hires them for life as full-time faculty members if they are judged to be eligible after examining their achievements.
Tokyo Institute of Technology has been operating the tenure track system since 2006, and has a clear career path of "acquiring tenure through various support, evaluation and examination during the five-year term", and is the world's top level through international recruitment. We aim to hire and train young researchers in Tokyo.
Although the Ministry of Education has published many papers by researchers in their thirties that triggered the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, Physics, Physiology and Medicine, young researchers seem to be disciples at Japanese universities. I am concerned about the fact that I am in an environment where I cannot concentrate on my research independently by working in a straightforward manner.
He advocates the spread of the tenure-track system, saying that recruitment of teachers is not always an objective and highly transparent procedure.
