Roles of the overseas troika supporter

Institute for Tenure Track Promotion (ITTP) of University of Miyazaki aids the research activity and the education training of tenure track (TT) researchers. As a support system for the TT researchers, we have arranged troika supporters, two professors in our university, and one overseas researcher. The roles of the overseas researcher as a supporter are as follows.

During the five-year term of TT position, TT researchers will fill out the annual report format in the first, second and fourth year. In the third and fifth years of the TT term, the TT researchers also fill out the reports for interim evaluation and tenure examination, respectively. An overseas supporter is requested to review these annual reports and the report of the tenure examination and make comments about the reports. Your recommendation letter for the tenure position is also required.


Troika supporters evaluate the following items.

1. Research findings and status of research implementation
2. Acquisition of research grants
3. Lectures and practice educations for undergraduate and graduate students
4. Planning and management of professional seminars, symposiums and the like
5. International skills for researcher
6. Other notable items

We expect that the comments from the overseas troika supporter would support and
encourage the TT researchers from the point of view of research and educational
activities. We ask for your understanding and cooperation.

Best regards.
