Additional comments

At our university, we promote diversity, equity & inclusion (DEI) and gender equality. We actively appoint female faculty members and, when their achievements (such as research, educational accomplishments, and social contributions) and personal qualities are recognized as equivalent to those of others, we actively hire women.

Additionally, our university provides "Startup Research Fund Support" to new female faculty (full-time) to assist with research funding. We also implement the "Research Support Staff System" to help female faculty balance research activities with childbirth and childcare by assigning research assistants. Moreover, in the "Women Researchers Support Consortium Akita," which consists of higher education institutions in Akita Prefecture, we have established a system to recognize outstanding achievements and initiatives by female researchers from participating institutions.

Akita University has been certified as a "Childcare Support Company" and has earned the "Kurumin" next-generation certification mark. We particularly welcome applications from young researchers in this recruitment process.
