Welcome to those of you who may be interested in being part of the Seto Marine Biological Laboratory and the undergraduate or the graduate program in Marine Biology Course, Department of Zoology, Graduate School of Science, Kyoto University.  

We look for and expect motivated, hard-working students, postdoctoral fellows as well as professional researchers who will be diligent in their study and passionate about their research. 

I encourage you to have a look at this web-site as well as our Marine Lab web site, where you can find our current research interests and projects.  If you are interested in becoming a undergraduate BS or graduate MS or DC student or research fellows, please feel free to contact me by e-mail <asakura.akira.6w(at)kyoto-u.ac.jp>

Before accepting a student or researcher, I require meeting them personally. Such a meeting is important for me to assess your fit to the lab and to discuss research interests with you, and for you to meet me as a prospective adviser, meet graduate students currently in the lab, and to evaluate whether my lab is a good fit for you. 


I appreciate your interest in my lab and the effort it takes to visit the Seto Marine Lab!
