Call for Sechi Kato Program for RIKEN Hakubi Fellows -
Female Junior PI Program (FY2023)
RIKEN offers up to one junior Principal Investigator (PI) position, a RIKEN Hakubi Fellow position, for an exceptionally talented female researcher for a maximum of 7 years in the framework of the Sechi Kato Program. The RIKEN Hakubi Fellow is expected to engage in creative and ambitious research in natural and mathematical sciences, including research areas bordering the humanities and social sciences, by leading her independent research team. Proposals intended to resolve urgent issues that humankind faces today are also welcome (See for example, Sustainable Development Goals of United Nations).
One of the important goals of the RIKEN Hakubi Fellows Program is to foster stimulating interactions among the Fellows with diverse backgrounds and to create an intellectual hub of scientists with different disciplines within and beyond RIKEN.
- Who was Sechi Kato? - Sechi Kato (1893-1989) is a pioneering female
scientist who developed spectrometric analysis of organic materials in Japan, and
the first female Chief Scientist of RIKEN.
- What is "Hakubi"?--Hakubi is a proverb derived from classical Chinese literature.
There were five siblings in ancient China, all excellent, but the most brilliant one
had white (haku) eyebrows (bi).

The final details will be decided through discussions with the Hakubi Fellows Program Head.
