Integrative Evolutionary Science
Research Center for Integrative Evolutionary Science
Overview
Integrative Evolutionary Science is a new academic field that aims not only for the development of biology but also for elucidating the nature of human beings and solving social issues, through a comprehensive understanding of the change of living organisms, transition of human activities, and progression of global issues from an evolutionary perspective. The Integrative Evolutionary Science Program, in collaboration with the Research Center for Integrative Evolutionary Science, aims to pursue and share truths with society, produce future leaders in this field, and to contribute broadly to the development of science and society. Students in this program will conduct their studies and research activities at the Research Center for Integrative Evolutionary Science, located in Hayama, Kanagawa Prefecture.
This program consists of two programs: a five-year doctoral program for students with a bachelor's degree and a three-year doctoral program for students with a master's degree.
Practical training with actual archaeological remains
Cultivation of birds'-eye view of life-history by lectures such as history of science and science philosophy
Hands-on training and research using advanced facilities (electron/optical microscopes, molecular biology equipments)
Fieldwork involving archaeo-logical artifacts and evolutionary process investigations
Students presenting cutting-edge research progress (Progress Reports)
Theoretical, mathematical and big-data approaches can be learned
Academic interactinos with base institutions and other universities
Evolutionary studies on modifying signaling networks during development
Doctoral Program: Five-year doctoral program / Three-year doctoral program
Degree: Doctor of Philosophy
Career Options for Graduates: Researchers in the field of life sciences (evolutionary biology, molecular biology, genetics, ecology, medicine, etc.) or in the field of science and society (history of science, philosophy of science, science and technology studies, bioethics, etc.) at universities, research institutes, private companies, NGOs, and government agencies; science communicators
