Our team is located at the Komaba Campus of the University of Tokyo, one of Japan's premier academic institutions. We have a strong community of ecologists and evolutionary biologists studying plants, animals, and fungi. We offer graduate programs in both Japanese and English, including the Graduate Program in Environmental Sciences (http://gpes.c.u-tokyo.ac.jp/) and the General Systems Sciences program (http://system.c.u-tokyo.ac.jp/), respectively. If you are interested in pursuing graduate research with us, please note that there is a strict application deadline of 9 July 2023 for entry in April 2024, and a further deadline in late November 2023 for entry in September 2024.
