Tokyo Institute of Technology Increases Faculty Positions for Women in Academic Year 2024

Amidst its efforts to ensure a more inclusive environment for all students, faculty, and staff, Tokyo Tech has created eight new positions for female associate professors or professors — one at each of its Schools and Institutes — in academic year 2024.

This positive action, based on Article 8 of the Act on Securing, Etc. of Equal Opportunity and Treatment between Men and Women in Employment (Equal Employment Opportunity Act), encourages women — a group that remains under-represented among Tokyo Tech faculty — to join the community, identify and solve global issues, and create a better future together.

Tokyo Tech is implementing this initiative for the third consecutive year after positions for women were made available in academic year 2022 and 2023.
