- The mission of Team Todo is to foster global leaders through quantitative research (its planning, field works, data collection, quantitative analysis, thesis writing, and oral presentations).
- Team Todo particularly welcomes foreign students.
- Team Todo welcomes postdocs with own funding. Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) provides a good program for overseas postdoc researchers. Click here for more information. Please note that postdocs in Team Todo should engage in collaborative research with other team members.
- Students in Team Todo can choose their research topics as they like. However, students are encouraged to choose a topic related to Todo’s research projects, so that students may be provided a research fund for their field work. In some cases, students can write papers with Prof. Todo for possible publication in academic journals (see below for past achievements).
