Job Announcement Text: 

The NAOJ (National Astronomical Observatory of Japan) ALMA Project invites applications for a Project Research Staff (equivalent to postdoctoral researcher) for ALMA Joint Scientific Research Program to conduct the research project “Revealing the relation between multi-level molecular gas in elliptical galaxies and their AGN activity” using ALMA data (including archival data). The successful candidate will spend 100% of their time for this project in collaboration with Professor Yutaka Fujita at Tokyo Metropolitan University (Tokyo, Japan). The successful candidate is required (1) to publish one first-author paper per year, and (2) to submit one ALMA proposal per year. The successful candidate may supervise students for the purpose of carrying out this project.

See below for details:

The successful candidate will be employed by NAOJ, and will be stationed at Tokyo Metropolitan University. In case the PI of the project (Professor Fujita) moves to another university or institute, the successful candidate is expected to accompany the PI. However, if the PI of the project moves to the NAOJ or other institutions where the successful candidate cannot follow the PI, the successful candidate will be relocated to NAOJ in Mitaka and continue the proposed research project. In this case, the employment is terminated at the end of the employment contract at that time without extension.

In principle, the term is for two years from the starting date, and the probation period of six months is included. The starting date is April 1, 2022 or October 1, 2022. 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 (NINS, or the National Institutes of Natural Sciences, is an executive institute that manages NAOJ) 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.
