Background of the recruitment and description of the project

The Tokai National Higher Education and Research System (THERS)—a federation of Nagoya University and Gifu University—aims to become one of the world’s premier research universities and to establish nationally and internationally recognized centers of excellence in its areas of strength. As part of this vision, the two universities jointly founded the Institute for Glyco-core Research (iGCORE), which since its launch in 2021 has advanced cutting-edge life-science research that fuses glyco-omics with mathematical and computational analytics.
We seek to appoint one Designated Assistant Professor responsible for cohort studies. The position aims to further advance research in the field of glycobiology promoted by iGCORE by strengthening the framework and research environment for cohort studies, driving flagship projects, and enhancing collaboration with medical institutions and research organizations.
