Available Position
JAMSTEC is recruiting one position as a Postdoctoral Researcher. (CGP20-007)
Recruiting Department
Solid Earth Geochemistry Research Group, Volcanoes and Earth’s Interior Research Center (VERC), Research Institute for Marine Geodynamics (IMG)
Job Description
We are soliciting applications for a Postdoctoral Researcher to work on a CREST research project titled “Integration of measurement technologies and informatics based on Bayesian inference and sparse modeling (FY2020-FY2022, Co-Principal Investigator: Tatsu Kuwatani)“ under a research area "Development and application of intelligent measurement-analysis methods through coalition between measurement technologies and informatics", supported by the Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST).
The purpose of this contract research is to develop a mathematical-scientific methodology that extracts the essential physical and chemical processes behind observation and measurement datasets and solve various actual problems in various fields of the material sciences. Thus, we are seeking a postdoctoral researcher who will engage in the following proposed tasks related to the development and application of such data-driven analytical methods and carry out research independently. Challenging research is encouraged through active collaboration with researchers from different fields.
1) Development and application of image data analysis for the earth and material sciences based on Bayesian inference
2) Development and application of geochemical data analysis based on sparse modeling
3) Development of new material-scientific data analysis based on deep learning
4) Writing research reports and peer-reviewed papers
[Relevant Research Fields]
Earth and environmental sciences including geology, petrology, geophysics and geochemistry, mathematical and information sciences
Job Type
Postdoctoral Researcher: To contribute to the project, a Postdoctoral Researcher should be able to independently conduct the research subject which is authorized by the Project under direction of a leader, and to be appointed to improve his/her research qualities.
*There may be a change in affiliation in the event of reorganization of the Agency.
