Consistent with this change, when applying for faculty positions or studying at the University, faculty, staff, and students will be required to submit a "Declaration of applicable specific categories" based on the "Flowchart for determining applicable specific categories." Faculty, staff, and some students will also be required to submit a "Confirmation Form" at the time of their recruitment or admission. The "foreign organization" mentioned in the Declaration of applicable specific categories is a "Non-Japanese organization."
The submitted information will be strictly managed under the privacy policy of Nagoya University and will be used only for this selection. The Selection Committee will be responsible for disposing of all application documents and will not return them.
