Professor, Atomically Controlled Processes Area, Department of Precision Engineering, Graduate School of Engineering, The University of Osaka

The Atomically Controlled Processes Area, Department of Precision Engineering, Graduate School of Engineering, The University of Osaka is conducting research aimed at realizing novel functional materials and devices that serve as the foundation of society; To achieve this goal, we are creating new manufacturing technologies through physical measurements, materials design, and the control of physical properties at the atomic and molecular levels, grounded in materials science and surface/interface science. The scope of research is not limited to inorganic materials such as semiconductors but encompasses technical fields that utilize soft matter and biomaterials through a physical engineering approach. It also covers a wide range of physical phenomena, extending from the manipulation of electron and spin states—which drive functional expression—to optical transmission and quantum state control. Furthermore, the laboratory is seeking an academic staff member who, in addition to fostering collaboration within the university—centered on the Graduate School of Engineering—, will engage in broad industry-academia-government partnerships and spearhead next-generation manufacturing technologies that possess international competitiveness.
The successful applicant will be responsible for not only conducting research but also for teaching liberal arts and other subjects at the undergraduate and graduate levels.
Inquiries regarding this position are welcome.
