Q1.What are the reason(s) you decided to participate in the GRM program?
Ever since I was undergraduate, I had a background of holistic education from my courses. The GRM program was an opportunity for me to further my learning in this similar manner of generalized knowledge. Moreover, I wanted to apply my learnings, as closely as possible, to societal activities. The GRM offered a series of excursions, which significantly improved my experiences and perspectives as a graduate student.
Q2.What was your career goal/path you were thinking when you entered graduate school?
My initial career path was to go into semiconductor field, or something related to optics and photonics. Being a researcher was also one of those which I considered.
Q3.Did you make any efforts which led you to finding a job while you were in your graduate school?
I did attempt the traditional Japanese job-hunting method (hand-writing CV's and taking internships) for a few months but I was not successful in finding a job this way. The process was difficult, and I tried to ask my professors if they knew companies which I could apply. In the end, I fortunately received some offers after graduation.
Q4.What made you decide your current career/job?
From what I have studied in PhD, I have a huge interest in lasers, its technologies, and laser plasmas. I thought that this occupation will be significantly helpful in fostering my career path, as well as my interests. Moreover, the current job is a research position, which I had experience in.
Q5.How did your experience in the GRM program influence your career path?
I think GRM provided me a skill of thinking in a broader perspective. For me, a career should have meaning attached to it, so I had to choose my career options carefully. A broader vision also means keeping in mind that what I do should benefit, in some way, a certain community or a system. I think GRM, while exposing us to the developments and realities of society in general, motivated me to think beyond joining another institution and try to do meaningful work.
Q6.In what kind of situations did you find it positive and helpful to have learned from GRM program as you work for the current company?
As a researcher, I am currently establishing local and international networks mainly related to my field of study. I think GRM helped me to recognize the importance of collaborations within and even outside of our expertise. The best way to learn something is to discuss with other experts.
Q7.Did you encounter any difficulties in your job hunting as a Ph.D. candidate? If so, please describe it.
As stated in Question 3, I started seriously finding a job after graduation, so I did not encounter difficulties.
Q8.What do you think are the benefits of Ph.D. holders' working for a private company?
I am currently working in a university, but I think PhD holders can contribute creativity in the company when it comes to various developments.
Q9.What is your perspective on the expanding role of a Ph.D. holder in society in the days ahead?
As a PhD holder, I think I have a role in sharing my knowledge, as well as collaborating with institutes as much as I can. As there are relatively few PhD holders in my home country, this serves as a motivation to pioneer my field there while undergoing training here in Japan.
Q10. Please write a message to students who are considering whether or not to take the GRM Program.
I think GRM will be a good opportunity for students to gain a broader view of the world outside their field. GRM offers several courses which may lead to excursions that can make your graduate school experience unique. Students can also discuss with peers outside their home campus, including professors, which is a rare chance.

Moriyama Takuya
Completed in Fall 2019
Affiliation：Graduate School of Global Studies
Name of employer : Kiko Network (Environmental NGO)
Q1.What are the reason(s) you decided to participate in the GRM program?
In addition to the excellent research support such as subsidies for overseas research, I was attracted to the fact insert that the program aims to contribute to the solution of social issues and is committed to “integration of humanities and sciences” beyond the boundaries of existing academic fields.
Q2.What was your career goal/path you were thinking when you entered graduate school?
I wanted to work in a research position at a university or other research institutions, private sector, an NGO/NPO, or any other industry where I could utilize the expertise I gained through my graduate school experience and research. While making use of my research experience in some way, I also wanted to contribute to the solution of social issues in a way that is not limited to researchers in the narrow sense of the word. So I was interested in the GRM program, which has a goal to develop such human resources.
Q3.Did you make any efforts which led to finding a job while you were in your graduate school?
I participated in the anti-nuclear activities by a civic group, and had experience translating, writing articles, and having lectures. I also participated in several other civic movements including filming and video editing, which is useful in my current job. I did some job-hunting and got the first job at a think tank (NPO) aiming for nuclear abolition and disarmament while I was still in graduate school. Although it did not lead directly to a job, I also participated in internships at overseas food sales companies, humanitarian aid NGOs, and overseas offices of Japanese companies through the Internship Program. In addition, I took advantage of my experience in practical courses in electrical engineering to obtain a national certification as a second-class electrician.
Q4.What made you decide your current career/job?
When I was in graduate school, I participated in protests against the restart of nuclear power plants and the security bills, but I felt frustrated that decisions were made against public opinion without reflecting the voices of citizens. In Japan, there are few maybe use “avenues” in place of circuits avenues to reflect citizens' voices in political decision-making, and important decisions are often made only by a few limited stakeholders. In such a situation, I believe that NGOs/NPOs, as a group of experts independent of the government and corporations, have a role to play in leading citizens' participation in politics through policy proposals and information dissemination. There are many difficulties, but I think that is why we are required to be creative and take on challenges by changing our approach in various ways, and it is also interesting to have a variety of experiences.
Q5.How did your experience in the GRM program influence your career path?
In graduate school, I met many people who created their own career paths by demonstrating their individuality and special skills in various research activities, such as in laboratories, conference presentations, and fieldwork in research target areas. These people inspire me and remind me that there is no single correct career path.
Q6.In what kind of situations did you find it positive and helpful to have learned from GRM program as you work for the current company?
The issues related to nuclear weapons, AI/robotic weapons, military use of space, and new missiles that I worked on at my first company, and the issues related to the climate crisis and energy policy that I am currently working on at my current company, are all fields that require expertise that transcends the boundaries of the humanities and sciences. Some of my supervisors and colleagues had backgrounds in engineering, marine physics, and other sciences. Through the GRM program, I have acquired the attitude to face issues from a perspective beyond the boundaries of the humanities and sciences and academic disciplines, and to learn new fields of specialization when necessary. As a result, I feel that I am able to face the social issues that need to be solved, rather than being confined to the scope of my own specialty.
Q7.Did you encounter any difficulties in your job hunting as a Ph.D. candidate?
If so, please describe it.
When it comes to finding a job in the private sector for a doctoral degree holder in the humanities, I feel that it is very difficult to find a job through the same job-insert hyphen hunting process as an undergraduate student. There are few companies that expect applications from doctoral degree holders, and they do not understand what graduate schools are like or what graduate students do. Also, if you are over a certain age, you lose your eligibility to apply for new graduate employment, and if you have no work experience before entering graduate school, you cannot apply for mid-career employment either. In other words, there is a risk of falling into a situation where one cannot even apply for either new graduate or mid-career employment. In order to improve the current situation, it is necessary that research experience in doctoral programs be properly evaluated and recognized as work experience. I would like to see a change in awareness on the part of companies, but students also need to devise ways to appeal their research experience.
In the NGO/NPO industry, people are expected to be able to work immediately, and most recruitment is done on a mid-career basis. However, depending on the relationship between your work and your research theme, your graduate school experience may be positively evaluated.
Q8.What do you think are the benefits of Ph.D. holders' working for a private company?
I believe that the advantage for a doctoral degree holder is that he or she does not confine himself or herself to the specialization that led to the doctoral degree, but can open up greater possibilities and expand the field of activity.
In addition to specialized knowledge and experience, research activities cultivate the ability to identify and solve problems on one's own, and the insert self-management skills to plan and execute. These basic skills are also very useful in the workplace outside the university.
Q9.What is your perspective on the expanding role of a Ph.D. holder in society in the days ahead?
As companies seek to secure a diverse workforce regardless of gender, age, nationality, or background in order to cope with the unpredictable times and technological innovation, I believe that there is a possibility that doctoral degree holders will be able to play an active role in the future. Doctoral degree holders can expand their fields of activity by developing career plans and taking on new challenges with a flexible attitude unconstrained by any insert precedent.
Q10. Please write a message to students who are considering whether or not to take the GRM Program.
Entering a doctoral program itself is a decision that requires a great deal of determination, but the experience of pursuing your interests and questions and gaining expertise will be an advantage that you can use in a variety of situations afterwards. If you think the GRM program can help you do that, then take advantage of it.

(Drone Manufacturer)
Q1.What are the reason(s) you decided to participate in the GRM program?
The biggest draw for the GRM program when I was applying was the diversity of opportunities that it offered. I did my undergrad study in information management and really enjoyed it, but that wasn’t my only interest. The GRM program promised to expose me to the fields of science, engineering, and global studies, in both a theoretical and practice sense. As someone with a wide range of interests who was keen to have new experiences, it was a natural move to take part in the GRM program.
Q2.What was your career goal/path you were thinking when you entered graduate school?
To be honest, I was not sure about the concrete path or career goal when I first entered graduate school for my master’s degree. I was open to trying new things and wanted to take advantage of the wide range of opportunities that were available on the GRM program. I wasn’t at a point where I was ready to commit to one specific field, so I saw this as a chance to spend time on some of my many interests.
Q3.Did you make any efforts which led to finding a job while you were in your graduate school?
I was particularly fortunate in that my experience on the program led to a direct job in one of the companies I was involved with. As a result, I had no particular need to put a lot of effort into various job-hunting activities. I did, however, have the opportunity to attend a couple of job fair sessions. I know there were also further support mechanisms available if I needed them.
Q4.What made you decide your current career/job?
I’ve had an interest in artificial intelligence since I was studying for my undergrad and was already thinking about a career in the field when I joined Doshisha. I had some other modules as part of my computer science Ph.D. that were directly related to machine learning. However, the experience of working as an intern for 3 months in the field had a big influence in my decision to pursue a career in AI. It gave me experience of working in AI for business, not just academia, which I am still finding valuable today.
Q5.How did your experience in the GRM program influence your career path?
Working as an intern as part of the GRM program was a completely different experience to working in academia. It gave me professional experience in the field I was interested in, which would have been hard to find on my own. It opened my eyes to further career options outside of academia that I hadn’t thought much about before. Having the experience of working in business was extremely valuable when the time came to decide what my next steps would be after university.
Q6.In what kind of situations did you find it positive and helpful to have learned from GRM program as you work for the current company?
I was lucky enough to get a job in the company where I was an intern in the GRM program. My experience during that internship is directly related to the work I do now. Having that experience has allowed me to come into my job and make an immediate impact.
I also did a lot of seminars, field work, and onsite practices in different parts of the world as a part of GRM program, which made me more confident when entering my new company as a full-time employee.
Q7.Did you encounter any difficulties in your job hunting as a Ph.D. candidate?
If so, please describe it.
The biggest barrier for me was the Japanese language. It can be difficult to find the right kind of opportunities as someone who is not completely fluent in the native language of this country.
However, I had different advantages that I could bring to the table when applying for work. From the various onsite practices, international fieldwork sessions, and joint seminars that I had taken part in, I had a depth of knowledge and experience to draw, on that set me apart from other candidates.
Q8.What do you think are the benefits of Ph.D. holders' working for a private company?
When you’re a Ph.D. student, you spend several years studying to become a specialist in a particular field. On the other hand, the business environment tends to mold people into generalists, who are good at a wide range of things but not excellent in one. This means that as a Ph.D. student, you can go into a company and immediately have something to offer to colleagues that may have been working in the field for several years. This creates a great environment where everyone is able to learn from each other.
Q9.What is your perspective on the expanding role of a Ph.D. holder in society in the days ahead?
One of the most valuable things about studying for a Ph.D. is that you learn how to learn. This applies not only to your field of study but also to anything else that you turn your hand to, whether that’s in the humanities, social sciences, or engineering. Ph.D.s create people who are able to understand problems and provide thoughtful, innovative solutions. My experience on the GRM program and the onsite practice it offered in various different countries on a wide variety of issues is evidence of this.
Q10. Please write a message to students who are considering whether or not to take the GRM Program.
In my experience, the GRM program provided me with a wide range of opportunities both inside and outside Japan, as well as an international network of experts and mentors who I was able to gain valuable insight from. Both of these prove invaluable later on in your career. Of course, these things can be found elsewhere, but it’s extremely rare to find them both in the same place. It’s an opportunity worth serious consideration. I’m extremely glad that I choose to take part in it.

Q1.What are the reason(s) you decided to participate in the GRM program?
The reason is that it is the program in the interdisciplinary field of resource management. I have been interested in the human resource management.
Q2.What was your career goal/path you were thinking when you entered graduate school?
I wanted to be a business owner or researcher.
Q3.Did you make any efforts which led to finding a job while you were in your graduate school?
Nothing in particular. I concentrated on my study and often spent time with my friends.
Q4.What made you decide your current career/job?
I became interested while studying company management.
Q5.How did your experience in the GRM program influence your career path?
I could learn the understanding of relevant matters to employment in a company.
Q6.In what kind of situations did you find it positive and helpful to have learned from GRM program as you work for the current company?
Because I had a great deal of experience in the GRM program, I became more confident. For example, I did a lot of discussions with doctoral students from other universities. When I presented my opinions about some issues, not only agreed, but often they were opposed. I felt very confident when I could think about how I could make counterarguments and my opinions were accepted. Also, when my arguments were not accepted, I reviewed them carefully.
This experience has helped me a lot in conveying my opinions to employees at meeting in our company now. I think I became more persuasive than before.
Basic knowledge on resource management can be gained by reading books. However, by participating in the GRM program, you will be able to think how basic knowledge can be applied and present your opinions to other people with confidence.
Q7.Did you encounter any difficulties in your job hunting as a Ph.D. candidate?
If so, please describe it.
No problem.
Q8.What do you think are the benefits of Ph.D. holders' working for a private company?
We can utilize natural, cultural and human resources in companies. It depends on the amount of resources the company possesses in addition to the shared size of resource amount. By belonging to a company, we have more options for taking actions as companies, in many cases, possess relatively large options.
Q9.What is your perspective on the expanding role of a Ph.D. holder in society in the days ahead?
Ph.D. graduates generally enjoy high level of literacy competency. However, competency required for working in a company is not necessarily high. I think that this is the reason why Ph.D.s are considered difficult to handle as an employee from the perspective of a company.
In foreseeing the future and potential competency, Ph.D. graduates can improve and expand their opportunities. I do believe the professional work of Ph.D. graduates can be performed efficiently as a result of their high literacy.
To achieve this, doctoral students should have more opportunities to socialize. I believe GRM program provides enough support in this respect.
Q10. Please write a message to students who are considering whether or not to take the GRM Program.
If you find a company or an organization you are interested in, you can do informal internships. Also, instructors of GRM program will help you from the very stage of making an appointment with a company.
Those who have a clear vision of their future career can make own goal more realistic by taking advantage of what GRM courses offer. Also, I think that GRM courses are effective and helpful for those who do not have a clear vision to plan their future career.
