Coming to Tamagawa lab as a university student

In Tamagawa Laboratory, we accept students through the following three paths.

  • Graduate school of Tokyo University of Science
  • Junior Research Associate Program
  • Student trainee

RIKEN is not an educational institution, so students will focus mainly on a high level research. It is a very demanding environment, but surrounded by researchers, it provides excellent opportunities understand understand what research is.

  1. Acquisition of fundamental academic skills and knowledge through seminars,
  2. knowing research frontier through paper reading sessions,
  3. Contribution to frontier research through participation in projects,

These three opportunities are the fundamental of the research education. We aim to cultivate individuals who think critically about physical phenomena, make judgments based on scientific reasoning, develop the ability to solve problems proactively, enhance communication skills through collaborative research with diverse individuals, and ultimately contribute to society as valuable professionals. Our goal is to foster researchers who are fully equipped and capable.
If you are interested in the study of astrophysics, we encourage you to consider joining the Tamagawa Laboratory. The doors of our laboratory are always open, so please feel free to contact us at your convenience. For students who are interested in conducting research at the Tamagawa Laboratory, we highly recommend visiting us for an observation session beforehand to determine whether the atmosphere aligns with your interests. We look forward to welcoming you!

Since April 2005, I have been concurrently serving as a visiting professor in the Department of Physics, Graduate School of Science, Tokyo University of Science(TUS Science department link) The Tamagawa Laboratory accepts 2-3 graduate students annually through Tokyo University of Science. Additionally, we welcome several undergraduate fourth-year students as external research interns.

Junior Research Associate Program

At RIKEN, Junior Research Associate Program (JRA)Detail informationis available, which allows us to recruit students from the doctoral program of graduate schools. With excellent research environment and competitive remuneration, we aim to nurture young researcher talents. Those interested are encouraged to consult with their current advisors and contact Tamagawa. The application deadline is typically around mid-November each year.
