NIMS Graduate Research Assistantship

Research assistantship for outstanding graduate students

2025.05.01 Update

NIMS offers the NIMS Graduate Research Assistantship to graduate students who aspire to a career as researchers in materials science. The monthly stipend is not paid for taking the university coursework. However, if you are enrolled in the NIMS Joint Graduate School Program, the duties and responsibilities of the research assistantship are designed to be consistent with the student's research activities towards obtaining a degree.

Those students appointed as NIMS Junior Researchers will be able to gain insight into their research career by hands-on experience of working on the latest research projects, without financial strain.

In 2024, NIMS has launched "NIMS Start-up Support System" that NIMS provides newly hired NIMS Junior Researchers with Start-up Support grant in addition to the salary. NIMS Junior Researchers will be able to cover part of the initial costs of entering graduate school. NIMS is also focusing on nurturing the next generation to ensure that as many outstanding students as possible choose to pursue graduate studies and excel in the field of materials and materials research (applicable to those entering in April 2025).
