About Chiba University

Basic information and contact details for Chiba University

institution

In 1949, Chiba Medical College, Chiba Normal School and several other local schools unified into Chiba University. 

Chiba University is known by students as Chibadai, short for Chiba Daigaku.

There are 10 undergraduate schools and 11 graduate schools at Chiba. They encompass a broad range of disciplines, stretching from history to horticulture. The Faculty of Horticulture is, in fact, the only faculty of its kind in Japan, and offers courses in cultivation, plant breeding and landscape design.

Chibadai is guided by its motto “Always Aim Higher”.

Students can keep active on campus through over 170 student clubs ranging from track and field to anime. The university also holds an annual festival at the start of winter in which the various clubs put on perfeormances and workshops showcasing their talents.

The university is located in Chiba, a town on Tokyo Bay directly opposite Japan’s capital city. It is ideally placed between Tokyo’s two airports, Narita and Haneda, making travel around the islands of Japan or across the sea to the rest of Asia easy.

Chiba is greener, cleaner and more affordable than Tokyo, and also has the benefit of being a short ride away from Tokyo Disney. It’s easy to escape to the capital for a day or night out: a must given Tokyo’s wealth of things to do. Whether admiring ancient calligraphy in the Imperial Gardens or singing karaoke at 3am, the city offers something for every taste.

New York University Abu Dhabi Corporation

United Arab Emirates, Abu Dhabi


Description We are inviting applications for a Postdoctoral Associate in the Division of Social Science at NYU Abu Dhabi from individuals who have or will soon receive a PhD in sociology, social psychology, computational social science, computer science, information science, data science, or a closely related field. The appointment will begin September 1, 2026, subject to final budget approval and is available for up to three years. The post-doctoral associate will spend half their time on independent research, and half their time on collaborative research with Professors Mario D. Molina, Minsu Park, and Blaine Robbins. The collaborative research will be large-scale analyses of digital traces (e.g., Yelp, Airbnb, Stack Exchange) and virtual lab experiments to study how ingroup favoritism and group boundaries coevolve in multiplex communities; how attribute- and opinion-based cues shape insider/outsider categorization, intergroup relations, and social cohesion; and how to design interventions that promote inclusivity, fairness, and productive discourse online. We seek a candidate with expertise in the following four areas: (1) working with large-scale digital trace data; (2) building and running natural language processing and machine learning workflows; (3) experimental design and causal inference (including virtual lab experiments); and/or (4) network or computational modeling. The ideal candidate will have a strong interest in applying these tools to questions of group formation, intergroup relations, and the distribution of resources on online platforms. This is an excellent position for a computational social scientist or a computer/data scientist eager to transition into the social sciences. The position does not require teaching, but it may be possible to get teaching experience for compensation. You would join a group of over 20 post-doctoral fellows and 70 faculty in the Division of Social Science. For consideration, applicants must submit a cover letter, a curriculum vitae with a complete list of publications, a statement of research interests, two letters of reference, transcript and one writing sample, all in PDF format. If you have any questions, please email the Principal Investigators: Professors Mario D. Molina (mdmolina@nyu.edu), Minsu Park (mp5500@nyu.edu), and Blaine Robbins (bgr3@nyu.edu). Applications will be accepted until November 15, 2025.
