Research and Development (R&D) Center for Earthquake and Tsunami (CEAT) etc., Solid Earth Science Research Related Departments, at Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC), invites applications for two research positions of solid earth sciences as Principal Research Scientist or Principal Technical Scientist.

[Research Description]
At JAMSTEC, we are working toward a comprehensive understanding of subduction zone dynamics and material/energy recycling in the Earth’s interior, which are fundamental causes of earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic activity in subduction zones. As a future direction of solid Earth sciences at JAMSTEC, we strive to constructively integrate our research projects and contribute to the mitigation of geohazards by applying our scientific knowledge of earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic activity.
