The GCOE Systems Biology Rewarding Young Researchers
In the GCOE Program, we will reward young researchers whose thesis will appear in the top journals.
- Appeared: December 2008 through October 2009
- Rewarding: November 2009 at the international symposium planned by young researchers.
The young researcher should be under 35 years old (at the time when the thesis appears in the journal) and a graduate student, a postdoctoral fellow or a young researcher. The research should be completed in his/her major (Science or Bioagricultural Sciences) of the GCOE Program.
Recommendation:
- Brief Recommendation Letter (400-600 letters)
- Proof of the Accomplishment
- Proof of Age
Please e-mail the above three documents to the GCOE office.
There is no need for recommendations from others or from the applicants themselves, so we are looking forward to many recommendations.
- Due Date: October 31st, 2009
We will notify applicants of the results by e-mail. The reward winner should write “Summary of the thesis out of one’s sphere: on A4 size paper in 12 point font-size” and “Postscripts of the Research (concerning the reward)”. These will appear on the website after the reward.
In addition, the winner will get 200,000 yen extra-reward for research expenses; we will distribute research implementation costs as cost of consumables. Instructor of the winner will be distributed if the winner is a student or a postdoctoral fellow.
