About this position

The Sugiyama-Badr Laboratory in the Department of Chemical Systems Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, University of Tokyo, is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to work on hydrogen production systems and related infrastructure. The research contributes to decarbonizing energy systems and the chemical industry through process modeling, design, and optimization.

The researcher will investigate hydrogen production processes and supply chains, develop and apply system-level models, and evaluate low-carbon scenarios for energy and chemical production. The project integrates technical, economic, environmental, and safety considerations into process design and decision-making.

The role is suited to a researcher with expertise in process systems engineering, process simulation and design, and optimization-based analysis. The laboratory also welcomes complementary experience in life cycle assessment, risk or hazard assessment, machine learning, large-scale language models, and data-driven modeling. The successful researcher will work in an interdisciplinary chemical engineering environment focused on practical pathways toward lower-carbon industrial and energy systems.

Funding details

Fixed-term postdoctoral employment with an annual income of 4,000,000 to 6,000,000 yen, determined according to University of Tokyo regulations based on qualifications, abilities, and experience. Commuting allowance may be provided up to 55,000 yen per month if eligibility requirements are met. Health, pension, workers' compensation, and employment insurance are provided according to applicable rules.

What's required

Applicants must hold a PhD in Chemical Engineering, Process Systems Engineering, or a related field, or be expected to obtain the PhD by the time of appointment. Required qualifications include sufficient knowledge and research experience in process systems engineering; experience in process modeling, simulation, and design; experience with optimization and related programming tools such as Python/Pyomo or GAMS; and the ability to communicate in English. Desirable experience includes environmental impact assessment such as life cycle assessment, risk or hazard assessment, and data science including machine learning, large language models, or data-driven modeling.

How to apply

Prepare the University of Tokyo Unified Curriculum Vitae, research achievement list, publication list, and a 1–2 page English research summary covering past research and future plans. Email the documents to [email protected] with the subject line “Application for Project Researcher at Sugiyama-Badr Lab.” Applications may close early once a suitable candidate is found.
