Introduction
Our laboratory is recruiting enthusiastic master’s and doctoral students and company scientists who are willing to work with us. We also welcome students from a wide range of backgrounds, such as healthcare, biology, engineering, linguistics, and psychology. Our projects range from basic to applied: basic research relates to human language comprehension, and applied studies are oriented towards practical applications. The starting point of your research at our laboratory will be where your particular interests and our research directions meet. So far, many international students including research students and student interns have been joining our laboratory.
You will gain a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment when you make new findings. Such joy will multiply when shared among colleagues, friends, and mentors. We believe it is important to create a friendly atmosphere where you can enjoy research activities. If you are interested in joining us, please feel free to contact us (socialcomputing-office [at] is.naist.jp)!
Please note that not all individuals wishing to join our laboratory may be accepted, due to our policy on the maximum number of participating students. In principle, we do not accept research students. An exception is made only for those who have passed the entrance examination and are in the period prior to enrollment.
Laboratory Features for Research Education
One of our main mission is the training and nurturing global manpower capable of producing cutting-edge research work in the fields of medical natural language processing, and applied informatics in social media. To actualize this, we have been
- Providing high-quality research guidance through collaborative efforts from a team of interdisciplinary staff members and lab technicians
- Engaging in state-of-the-art research using leading-edge materials
- Promotion of research with the industry and health organizations
- Accepting student interns from Japan and from overseas
(Note: Internships from overseas are, in principle, not accepted from applicants from non-partner institutions. However, exceptions may be considered only if the applicant is able to stay for six months or longer and is hoping to enroll in our laboratory in the future. For applicants from partner institutions, shorter stays may also be considered on a case-by-case basis.) - Organizing study meets, or seminars with expert guest speakers
Our excellent research environment helps researchers pursue their research projects in a time-efficient manner. Some students may even begin preparing manuscripts for international presentations or publications during their first year of research.
We look forward to working together with willing and passionate students.
