About the position
The field of "AI for Science," which integrates deep learning, generative AI technologies, and High-Performance Computing (HPC) technologies, including GPU-accelerated computing, is rapidly advancing across computational science and data science.
Our Graduate School is establishing a new framework to advance research and education through the application of HPC and AI in respective specialized or interdisciplinary fields. Building upon our established collaborative research activities and education programs with the neighboring RIKEN Center for Computational Science (R-CCS), we seek to foster highly skilled doctoral researchers capable of leading the emerging field of "AI for Science".
Work content and job description
Our Graduate School is establishing a new framework to advance research and education through the application of HPC and AI in respective specialized or interdisciplinary fields. Building upon our established collaborative research activities and education programs with the neighboring RIKEN Center for Computational Science (R-CCS), we seek to foster highly skilled doctoral researchers capable of leading the emerging field of "AI for Science". Beginning this academic year, we have also launched an English-taught lecture series, "Emerging Frontiers of AI/HPC for Science," in partnership with R-CCS. In addition, we are planning to establish a new globally oriented doctoral program, with the aim of attracting outstanding students and researchers from Japan and overseas.
Accordingly, we invite applications for an Associate Professor position. The successful candidate will be expected to actively participate in these initiatives and to demonstrate an excellent record of research achievements together with a strong passion for education. The appointee will be responsible for advancing research and education through the utilization of HPC and AI in their respective specialized or interdisciplinary fields. The appointee is also expected to teach courses in English in the new department and to contribute to the development and enhancement of computational and information infrastructure systems in cooperation with relevant internal and external institutions, including RIKEN R-CCS.
