NAOJ Postdoctoral Researcher Stationed at Hiroshima University, to work on REBELS, an ALMA Large Program

The NAOJ ALMA Project invites applications for a Project Research Staff (postdoctoral researcher) for the ALMA Joint Scientific Research Program to conduct the research project “A Systematic Study of the Dust Build-up in the Epoch of Reionization” using ALMA data (including archival data). The successful applicant will spend 100% of their time for this project in collaboration with Assistant Professor Hanae Inami at Hiroshima University (Higashi-Hiroshima, Hiroshima, Japan). The successful applicant is required (1) to publish one first-author paper per year, and (2) to submit one ALMA proposal per year as principal investigator. The successful applicant may supervise students for the purpose of carrying out this project.

Applicants must have a Doctoral degree or equivalent in a relevant field. The successful candidate will be employed by NAOJ, and will be stationed at Hiroshima University located in the Higashi-Hiroshima city, Hiroshima prefecture, Japan. In case the PI of the project (Assistant Professor Inami) moves to another university or institute, the successful candidate is expected to accompany the PI. However, if such an arrangement is deemed difficult by the new university/institute, the successful candidate will be relocated to NAOJ in Mitaka, Tokyo to continue the proposed research project.

In principle, the term is for two years from the starting date, and the starting date is either April 1 2021 or October 1 2021. NAOJ will conduct a review based on the mid-term performance report submitted by the PI and may extend the term for an additional year. For a researcher who was employed by NINS after April 1, 2013, their term will be set so that the total employment period from April 1, 2013 will be less than 10 years. Any researcher who has been employed as a NAOJ Project Research Fellow for a total of five or more years is not eligible to apply for this position. 

NAOJ is committed to the realization of a society with gender equality.
