Please contact Professor Ogata if you are interested in joining in our laboratory.
Career Opportunities
Postdoctoral positions are available from time to time. Please contact us for more information.
You may want to apply to JSPS (Japan Society for the Promotion of Science) fellowships, providing different
types of finantial supports for a post-doctral stay depending on your preference.
If you have a JSPS regional office in your country, we recommend you to contact them for additional information.
Graduate students in other countries may be accepted for a short-term stay.
It is strongly recommended that applicants obtain financial supports by themselves, such as the one from JSPS or the NSF summer program for U.S. students.
Potential Grad Students
Our laboratory is associated with two graduate schools
of Kyoto University. Potential graduate students (Master/2 years or Doctor/3 years)
will have to be qualified for admission to one of the following two graduate schools.
These two graduate schools organize their entrance exam independently.
Please check the following web pages for the deadlines of application and the dates of entrance exam,
although we strongly recommend you to contact us first.
Very approximatively, the admission processes by the graduate schools are yearly scheduled as below.

† It is generally recommended that the applicants have stayed at least six months as a research student (see below) in the laboratory prior to application to the Doctor or Master programs. The six months stay is indeed mandatory for the admission to the Master course of the Graduate School of Pharmaceutical Sciences.
‡ These exams are carried out only in Japanese.
Japanese government scholarship
For those who need finantial supports, we strongly recommend applicants to obtain a scholarship by themselves,
such as the Japanese government (MEXT) scholarship.
Research students
Potentail graduate students may apply to research students ("Kenkyu-sei") of the Institute for Chemical Research
for short stay (usually 6 to 12 months) in our lab before becoming a graduate student.
Many of the past students from abroad used this system. This research student system may allow you to
familiarize yourself with life in Japan and to prepare the entrance exam of the graduate schools.
