About this position
JAMSTEC invites applications for one specially appointed researcher, equivalent to a postdoctoral researcher, in the Cloud-Resolving Model Development and Application Group and Data Science Research Program in Yokohama, Kanagawa, Japan.
The researcher will contribute to global cloud-resolving climate model development and application and AI Earth system modeling under projects on extreme meteorology and global water-cycle predictability. Research includes evaluating extreme phenomena and background fields against satellite and other observations, improving and accelerating physical schemes with GPU support, conducting large-scale numerical simulations, and developing datasets and AI weather-model emulators.
Applicants must hold a PhD in a related field. Relevant backgrounds include meteorology, oceanography, climate science, computer science, high-performance computing, and computational science. Experience with weather or climate model evaluation, physical-scheme implementation, GPU acceleration, high-resolution simulations, or supercomputer-based AI emulators is desirable.
The position is full-time and fixed-term from April 1, 2027, to March 31, 2028, with possible annual renewal through March 31, 2030 subject to project progress, performance, and budget. Annual income is approximately 7–8 million yen, with insurance coverage, commuting and relocation support, and possible company housing. Applications are due by November 30, 2026, at 23:59 JST. Interviews are generally conducted online.
Funding details

Salary is paid monthly in twelve installments, with bonuses and retirement allowances included. Commuting and relocation expenses are provided. Health, pension, workers' compensation, and employment insurance apply. Company housing may be available subject to income and other criteria.
What's required
Applicants must hold a PhD in a field related to the research or technological development. Desirable experience includes evaluating and improving weather and climate models, implementing physical schemes, providing GPU support, developing high-resolution simulations, and developing AI emulators using supercomputers. Applicants should submit a flexible-format resume including an email address and education from high school onward, a list of research achievements and competitive funding, a one-page previous research summary, a one-page research plan, up to two major publications, and two signed recommendation letters. If Japanese is not the applicant's native language, English will be used during work.
How to apply
Submit the resume, achievements list, research summaries and plan, up to two publications, and two recommendation letters through the submission URL in JAMSTEC's application guidelines. Recommendation letters must be emailed by the recommenders to [email protected] by 23:59 JST on November 30, 2026, with the subject line “CEMA/DSRP ADGS26-017 Applicant Name.”
