Notes

(1) Shinshu University promotes gender equality, and in the case two candidates are equal in terms of performance (research achievements, educational achievements, social contributions, etc.) and character, the female candidate will be chosen. However, this does not mean that preference for employment is given solely on the basis of gender.
(2) Shinshu University is improving the research environment by introducing a research assistant system and a mentor system so that researchers can maximize their abilities. In particular, to support female researchers, the University provides “start-up research grant support” to newly hired female faculty members (full-time) to help them with their research expenses, and “restart-up research grant support” to help them with their research expenses when they return to research activities after childcare or nursing care leave. In addition, to promote work-life balance for faculty and staff, the university is actively working toward gender equality by operating on-campus childcare facilities, distributing discount coupons for babysitter dispatch services, and providing temporary childcare services during the university entrance examination.
(3) Shinshu University has a system to foster top-level researchers who will lead cutting-edge research by awarding the title of “Rising Star Faculty” to outstanding young researchers and providing them with benefits, early promotion opportunities, and other preferential measures.
(4) In the Disciplinary History section of the Curriculum Vitae, please list any convictions and disciplinary actions you have taken. Failure to include such information may be considered a misrepresentation of your career and may lead to cancellation of employment or dismissal.
